About this site
Accounting AI is a small bilingual publication about bookkeeping in Israel and about what artificial intelligence actually does to a set of books. It exists because most writing in this field is produced to sell software, and explains only as much as it needs to before arriving at the product.
Who it is for
People running a one-person business in Israel, or about to open one. Freelancers, consultants, tradespeople and small suppliers, on either side of the exempt dealer threshold. The guides assume you are intelligent and busy rather than that you already know the vocabulary, which is why terms like input VAT and allocation number are explained the first time they matter instead of being assumed.
The site is published in English and Hebrew. Every page exists in both, and neither language is a machine translation of the other.
How the guides are written
Three rules apply to every page.
The rule first, the product last. What the law requires, what it means for a business of one, and only then which software removes the manual part. When a tool genuinely is the answer, it is named plainly instead of being implied.
Figures that move are written as figures that move. Thresholds, ceilings and percentages are updated by the Tax Authority on their own schedule. Where a number changes annually, the guide describes the shape of the rule and tells you to confirm the current figure, because a page that states last year's threshold with confidence is worse than one that admits the number has a date on it.
No claim that cannot be supported. Where the site does not know something, it says so. The accessibility statement is written the same way, and lists what has not been tested.
What stands behind it, and what does not
This is a publication, not a practice. It is not written by a licensed accountant, tax adviser or lawyer, it is not supervised by one, and nothing on it is advice about your specific situation. It is general information, researched carefully and written plainly, and the correct use of it is to arrive at your accountant already understanding the question.
For anything that binds you, the Israel Tax Authority is the source, and your own accountant is the person who knows your circumstances. Those two outrank this site every time.
The tools
The invoice generator and the expense categorizer are demonstrations, and both pages say so in their own words. They run entirely in your browser, they store nothing, and neither one issues a fiscal document. They exist to show the shape of a workflow rather than to replace software built for it.
No vendor recommendations
This site names no invoicing product and links to none. Where software genuinely is the answer, what you get here is the list of capabilities that decide whether a product can issue Israeli fiscal documents at all, so you can apply it yourself. The guide to choosing invoicing software is that list, along with a short test you can run on any vendor in twenty minutes.
Corrections
Tax content decays. Rules change, thresholds step down, and a paragraph that was correct in one year quietly stops being correct in the next. The site is published from a public repository, so every change to every page is visible with its date, and a correction looks like a correction rather than like text that was always there.
