Whose agent does the bookkeeping?
Digits offers AI-native accounting with automated bookkeeping, real-time financials, bill pay and invoicing in its own product. A founder or accountant who wants the software to run the workflow inside one interface may prefer that turnkey experience. Digits is a serious accounting alternative, not merely a dashboard.
Economico lets the builder use their existing agent to record agreements, delivery, supplier costs and completed payments in source-linked books. That is useful when the same agent already has product and deal context. The tradeoff is work: the builder must connect their agent, provide evidence and review uncertain judgments. Economico does not provide Digits’ built-in bill-pay or automatic account feeds.
For a first customer contract, ask whether you want accounting automation inside the accounting product or an agent you control to explain the contract’s effect. Test the quality of the source trail in either option.
A customer deal your agent can explain
Give your agent the terms of your AI product’s first customer deal and the usage delivered. Inspect the statement, entries and period report it created instead of treating a dashboard number as the whole explanation.
Give the agent actual contract terms and delivery. A report is only as reliable as the facts recorded and the accounting choices reviewed.
Inspect one customer’s revenue trail
Record a deal and delivered usage, then ask your agent to show the statement and entries behind period revenue.
