The Xero Expert answers in plain words, with steps, the source and the date it was checked, and keeps notes on how your Xero fits your other tools. It never signs in, never asks for a password and never changes your books: it says who should act, and your team makes every change. How this differs from the QuickBooks Expert (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-quickbooks-agent): If your books run on QuickBooks Online, use the QuickBooks Expert; the Xero Expert gives the same kind of sourced, hands-off advice for Xero. ## How it works 1. **Ask your question** (Whenever someone has a question): Anyone on the team asks about Xero in plain words. 2. **It researches the answer** (As soon as you ask): It checks Xero's own help and developer guidance and its notes on your setup. 3. **You get a sourced answer** (When the research is done): A clear explanation with steps, the source and how sure it is. 4. **The right person acts** (you approve) (Only if a change is needed): If a change is needed, it says who should make it. Your team decides and makes any change in Xero. ## When to use it - **Your bank feed stopped updating:** You get the likely cause and the steps for whoever looks after the connection. - **You want to set up bank rules:** It explains how rules work and suggests a sensible starting set. - **Someone wants to connect a new app:** You hear what the app can read and change before anyone says yes. - **Xero announces a change:** It tells you whether it affects your setup and what to do. - **A new bookkeeper joins:** They can ask it how your Xero is set up, without interrupting the team. ## What you get - Sourced answers to Xero questions - Step-by-step fixes for bank feed problems - A list of connected apps with owners - Notes on Xero changes that affect you - Advice before switching on an app or automation ## Example: Xero answers pack Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: One bank feed keeps breaking, online store sales land as one lump each day, and month-end takes us two days. What should we change in Xero, and exactly how? This is an illustrative example of the sourced answers pack Xero Expert is being built to produce: short answers with sources, then step-by-step fixes for bank feeds, online store sales and month-end. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented retailer, with invented accounts, suppliers and figures. No real books, systems or people were involved, and nothing was changed in any accounting file. Run date: 15 October 2026. ### What it found - The broken bank feed was authorised with a former staff member's bank login; reconnecting it under the owner's login should end four months of breaks, and six duplicate lines need removing. - Posting daily online sales through a clearing account, with refunds and fees on their own lines, makes each payout match to the cent instead of leaving about $412 a day to chase. - Eight bank rules cover 61% of monthly transactions, and with the other fixes month-end should drop from about 16 hours to about 7.
