What the AI does

AI reads incoming invoices and extracts fields, codes multi-line bills, emails vendors to collect W-9s, matches receipts to card transactions and flags unusual bill amounts during approval.

BILL's AI automatically reads incoming invoices, extracts key fields, codes multi-line bills, reducing time and increasing accuracy.

What the AI does with your booksPartly

Categorizes transactions

AI codes bills and card transaction fields inside BILL, but these are bills and card spend, not bank transactions in your books, and no page claims it learns from your corrections.

BILL helps complete transactions for you by matching receipts to transactions and automatically categorizing transaction fields.

bill.com/product/aiChecked

What the AI does with your booksYes

Reads receipts and bills

The mobile app captures receipts and AI matches them to card transactions and codes them, so a photographed receipt lands against its transaction without manual entry.

AI-powered receipt capture, matching, and transaction coding

bill.com/product/pricingChecked

What the AI does with your booksYes

Pays your bills

This is BILL's core job: bills arrive in a central inbox, route through approval policies you set, then pay by ACH, check, virtual card, credit card or international transfer.

Manage bills from a centralized inbox

What the AI does with your booksYes

Sends invoices

Every plan creates custom invoices, sends single or recurring ones, automates payment reminders, takes ACH and credit card, and can auto-charge the customer.

Create professional, custom invoices

Who checks the AI’s workNo

People check the books

Nobody at BILL checks the AI's work for you: the vendor's pitch is that automation keeps you in the chair, with final approval and an audit log of every AI action on your side.

Shift from manual processing to high-value strategic work, while keeping final decision-making power.

Who checks the AI’s workPartly

Your accountant can sign in

An outside accountant can be added, but on Essentials and Team every user is billed at the plan rate; firms instead buy the Accountant Console at $49 a month to reach client accounts.

For Essentials/Team customers, every user is billed as a standard user.

Accuracy the vendor claims

BILL claims its W-9 agent collects and enters W-9s with 95+ accuracy; the figure carries a footnote marker only, and no method or sample behind it is published on the page.

BILL's AI autonomously emails your vendors to collect and enter W-9s with 95+ accuracy.
