Five AI features in an invoicing app, and the rules that keep them from touching the books

The Tech Stack

I build Slate, an invoicing and bookkeeping SaaS for Israeli businesses. Angular on the front, Express and Prisma on the back, Postgres underneath.

Legal Constraints

The documents it issues are real fiscal records. Israeli law requires them kept for seven years, numbered without gaps, and never edited after issue. That constraint shaped every AI feature in the product.

AI Features

There are five of them today:

• Receipt scanning (photo of a receipt, out comes a filled expense form)
• A chat assistant that answers questions about your own books
• A support reply drafter for the admin side
• Natural language document creation ("quote for Dani, 3 consulting hours at 500")
• Column mapping for Excel imports where every accountant's spreadsheet has different headers
