Pilot

Hello again PH! Have you ever wondered if your accountant is actually doing a good job with your books? It’s kinda impossible to know… until now! LLM context windows are now large enough that you can actually just put your entire balance sheet and P&L into the LLM and ask it to point out things that might be errors or that should potentially be optimized. And with the right prompting and fine-tuning, it actually does... a surprisingly good job. We’ve been building and using tech like this internally at Pilot for quite some time now, but this is the very first time we're making something like this freely available to everyone, regardless of whether or not you’re a Pilot customer. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Please let me know what you think—I'll be around all day reading/responding to your comments.

Wild that you can just put an entire P&L in! In general I feel people are good at seeing patterns but bad at catching errors - this feels like it would really help! Is this incorporated in your core Pilot product? I’d imagine an omnipresent health check could be very helpful.

This is potentially huge for SMBs. Quite a while ago (read 2018) I read through a report from McKinsey, where they estimated that 90+% of the work done by accountants could be automated in the near future. Would be interesting to see where that estimate is at with the current technology and the evolution of AI.
