Free vs. Purpose-built AI Bookkeeping tools: Is Free actually good enough? (Partner Webinar)

PARTNER WEBINAR

OBJECTIVES

Every accounting platform now claims an AI feature but few practices have tested what that actually means. This session runs real documents through a free built-in AI tool and through Dext's purpose-built AI, side by side. Practice Consultant Emma Gilbert-Smith and Max Whiteley (Dext) react live and discuss what the results mean for practices choosing between the two.

KEY TOPICS

1. What "purpose-built" actually means in practice. The session shows specific documents processed by both a bundled AI tool and Dext's models, so attendees see the accuracy gap rather than hearing a claim about it.

2. The real cost of "free." A subsidised AI feature has a cost basis somewhere. The session unpacks what that means for reliability and longevity, and what to ask before relying on it.

3, How to evaluate AI claims in your own practice. Attendees leave with a simple framework for testing any AI tool against real client documents, rather than taking a vendor's word for it.
