Teenva AI & Digital Ventures builds accounting chatbots for accounting SaaS products, CA firms, finance teams, and SME owners from Bangalore, India. Users ask how do I record this GST invoice?, when is GSTR-1 due?, or where is my expense reimbursement?—the bot answers from your help docs, internal GL policies, and optional live tools—with citations, disclaimers (not CA advice), and handoff to accountants when questions need professional judgment.
GL, GST, Zoho workflows, and finance FAQ—escalate to your CA when advice is required. Generic ChatGPT invents tax rules; Teenva implements RAG on your knowledge base.

Accounting chatbot—RAG on finance docs, software how-tos, and optional invoice/expense status tools.
What the bot handles
| Topic | Examples | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Software how-to | Create credit note in Zoho? Export bank statement? | RAG on your guides |
| Internal policy | Petty cash limit? Who approves journals? | Company policy KB |
| GST informational (India) | What is GSTR-1? Due date this month? | Calendar from your table—not legal advice |
| TDS / payroll FAQ (scoped) | Which section for contractor? | Escalate to CA; cite KB only |
| Invoice / AP status (scoped) | Was vendor X bill posted? | Tool to invoice processing |
| Expense status (scoped) | My reimbursement approved? | Tool to expense automation |
| Reconciliation help (scoped) | Why is this bank line unmatched? | Links to reconciliation SOP |
| Month-end checklist | Close steps for March? | Published close calendar |
Escalates should I claim this deduction?, audit defense, restructuring → human accountant with disclaimer.
Integrates with Zoho Books and your accounting stack. Different from financial advisory chatbot (banking customer products). Hub: AI solutions.
