Spend more time on client relationships, not email

Let AI do the heavy lifting on email communication and free your team to engage in more meaningful client interactions.

With a single click, Karbon AI can summarise long email threads and internal discussions, compose and reply to emails, and will learn your brand tone to reflect your ideal style.

Boost efficiency with intelligent workflows

Automate time-consuming and manual tasks with AI to save time and improve team productivity.

Karbon AI will draw on your firm's existing data—from jobs, team capacity, time, budgets, billing, and payments—to provide accurate smart suggestions that transform how you assign tasks, enter time, manage work and organise clients.

Harness actionable insights from your data

Leverage AI to read, summarise, and provide answers about all aspects of your practice.

Whether it’s project statuses, email communication, client health, staff capacity, or profitability, you can generate quick executive summaries and use your own data to inform your next steps.

How is Karbon AI different from other AI tools?
Artificial intelligence is most useful when it is integrated into the tools that you already work in. Not only because that means less switching back and forth between apps, but when artificial intelligence is in the context of your workflow it can be prompted by your existing data, while that data remains secure.

As your accounting firm’s practice management solution, Karbon is home to more context than any other tool. It’s where your client management, communication, collaboration, work, and planning take place.

Karbon AI's capabilities will continue to expand across your collaborative workflow, increasing the possibilities of what you can do with your data.
Is Karbon AI turned on for an entire firm, or can individual users choose?
Karbon AI is turned on for everyone in your firm, however, account admins can disable the functionality via settings.
Will my data be shared with any other party?
At this time, we are not training our Karbon AI model with anyone's data. No data is shared with any third party or used to inform the data of any other Karbon customers. We guarantee that if that changes, it will strictly be an opt-in process and communication around this will be clear.
