Our AI Accountant Just Became Its Own Technical Writer

Our AI Accountant just became its own technical writer!

Vibe Accounting in Public - Day 3. We had a serendipitous discovery that reveals a profound shift in how we should think about automation.

A customer needed an ASC 606 process document. On a whim, we posed a question: Can the same AI agent that generates the automation code also generate the compliance documentation?

The answer was a resounding yes. The agent produced a clean, formatted, and logically sound process document based on the automation it had just built.

This is more than a neat trick - it's an emergent capability with massive implications. It signals the collapse of two traditionally separate, time-consuming workflows: "doing the work" and "documenting the work."

This points to a future of self-documenting systems. Imagine a world where every automated process comes with its own real-time, perfectly accurate audit and training literature. This represents a step-change in efficiency, compliance, and preserving institutional knowledge.

We're learning that the most powerful benefits of AI might not be the ones we originally planned for, and we're looking forward to see what else is in store during our vibe accounting journey!
