What you can ask

The assistant understands questions about your financial data:

Revenue and income

  • "What was my revenue last month?"
  • "Show me revenue by customer this quarter"
  • "How does this month compare to last month?"

Expenses and spending

  • "What did I spend on software last quarter?"
  • "Show my top expenses this year"
  • "How much have I spent with Amazon?"

Cash and runway

  • "What's my current balance?"
  • "How long will my cash last?"
  • "What's my monthly burn rate?"

Invoices

  • "Do I have any overdue invoices?"
  • "Who owes me money?"
  • "Show unpaid invoices for Acme Corp"

Time tracking

  • "How many hours did I track this week?"
  • "Show time by project this month"
  • "What's unbilled for Client X?"

How it works

The assistant:

  1. Understands your question using AI
  2. Queries your actual Midday data
  3. Returns accurate, real-time answers

It's not making up numbers—it's reading from your transactions, invoices, and tracked time.

Tips

  • Be specific: "Revenue last month" is better than "How am I doing?"
  • Include time periods: "this month," "last quarter," "in 2024"
  • Ask follow-ups: The assistant remembers context in a conversation

Limitations

The assistant can answer questions about data in Midday. It cannot:

  • Make predictions or forecasts
  • Access external data
  • Make changes to your account (it's read-only)
  • Answer questions about features not yet available
