Ari is a strong teammate, not a finished one. Here’s where he works within deliberate guardrails, where he still needs a human, and what he doesn’t do yet. We keep this page current; if something here blocks your workflow, tell us at [email protected].

​
Guardrails by design

These aren’t gaps. They’re how Ari is built to be safe.
No. Ari will not send, create, change, or delete anything until a person has approved it. Write access to a connected system is capability, not permission to skip that step. Automations set to auto-execute are the one variation: there you approve the behaviour once, when you configure it, instead of on every run.
Not from Slack. Once you approve an action, reversing it (voiding an invoice, following up on a mis-sent email) is a new action, not an undo button. The approval step is the safety net; use it.
No. Ari never sees or handles card numbers. Payment methods are tokenized and stored in Stripe, in line with PCI requirements.
Access is permission-scoped: team members can only view contracts for customers they have access to.

​
Where Ari needs a human

Term extraction is accurate on standard agreements, but heavily negotiated or unusual contracts should be reviewed by a person before invoicing from the extracted terms.
High-confidence matches complete automatically; anything uncertain (odd amounts, unclear payers, overpayments) is flagged for your judgment rather than guessed at.
No. Ari drafts and sends reminders on your playbook, but deciding to escalate a relationship, negotiate a settlement, or write off a balance is yours. He’ll prepare the context; you make the call.
Ari surfaces the conflict and asks you to pick the source of truth instead of silently choosing.

​
Operational limits

Three places: Slack, email, and chat in the LedgerUp platform. Settings and email templates are managed in the LedgerUp control panel.
Ari remembers everything within a thread, but a new thread starts a fresh conversation (with full access to your data, minus the conversational context). Use Instructions for anything he should remember everywhere.
Ari queries your systems in real time rather than serving cached data, so answers are current but not instant. First answers typically take a few seconds, and large cross-system analyses can take minutes.
Out of the box, Ari works with Stripe, Chargebee, HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, QuickBooks, PandaDoc, DocuSign, and email. The Enterprise tier supports additional integrations beyond this list; if your billing truth lives elsewhere, talk to us.
No. Slack messages follow your workspace’s retention policy, so treat threads as the conversational view. The complete audit history lives in the LedgerUp platform and covers everything that runs through LedgerUp services. See Activity history.

What to do when you hit a limit

  1. Ask Ari anyway. He’ll tell you when something is outside what he can do, and often suggests the closest thing he can.
  2. Check your Instructions. Unexpected behavior is sometimes a standing rule you forgot. @Ari why did you do that? shows which prompts he applied.
  3. Tell us. [email protected]. Limitations get removed in roughly the order customers hit them.
