# Meet Ari
> Your AI revenue operations teammate
You just hired your first AI teammate for revenue and billing. Ari lives in Slack, email, and the LedgerUp platform,
connects to the systems you already use, and handles the AR work you'd hand to a
sharp new hire, with one rule he never breaks: nothing goes out the door
without your approval.

## What Ari handles for you
Delegate the way you would to a teammate: describe what you need in plain English, and Ari does the work across Stripe, your CRM, QuickBooks, and email.
Create, send, track, and void invoices (one-time, recurring, or multi-line) without leaving Slack.
When customers require AP portals, Ari handles the submission and tracks each invoice through to approval.
Chase overdue invoices with reminders that match your tone, track payment promises, and never drop a follow-up.
Ari watches your billing inbox, triages customer replies, drafts responses, and surfaces what needs a human.
Ari reads your contracts, extracts the billing terms, and makes sure every invoice matches what was signed.
Payments matched to invoices automatically, with partials, overpayments, and multi-currency included.
Event-driven automations, schedules, and Prompts that teach Ari how your company works, once.
ARR, MRR, waterfalls, cohorts, and churn, answered in seconds from live data any time you ask.
## How to think about Ari's role
**Give Ari an outcome.** Mention `@Ari` in any channel or thread and describe what
you need: investigate an account, prepare a report, chase an overdue invoice. No
forms, no dashboards, no syntax.
**Review the work together.** Ari pulls live data, explains his proposed plan, and
posts results where your team already works. Anything that touches a customer or
changes data arrives with an **Approve** button, queued in one unified inbox.
**Keep authority explicit.** Your integrations and approval policies decide what Ari
can see and do. Coach him with [Instructions](/ari/guides/instructions), and
everything he runs is in the platform's [audit history](/ari/answers/activity-history).
## Onboard Ari
Like any new hire, Ari needs an account before he needs an assignment. Start here:
Add Ari to Slack, connect your billing system, and run your first command. That is the whole setup.
### Then, in his first week
How to ask well, use threads, and a copyable library of starter assignments.
Your billing defaults, escalation rules, and vocabulary. Say it once and he applies it everywhere.
End-to-end walkthroughs of the jobs Ari owns: invoicing, collections, revenue, and more.
## Built for trust
Ari touches your billing, so the guardrails are not fine print:
* **Approval-first, always.** Data-changing actions wait for a human. [How approvals work →](/ari/guides/approvals)
* **Honest about limits.** The boundaries Ari works within, in plain terms. [Guardrails and limits →](/ari/answers/limits-and-boundaries)
* **An audit trail by default.** Everything that runs through LedgerUp is logged: who asked, who approved, what happened. [Activity history →](/ari/answers/activity-history)
