The problem it solves

When you need an exact historical exchange rate for accounting or invoicing, you end up digging through government websites or spreadsheets, hoping you remembered the right date. It's slow, easy to get wrong, and pulls you away from more important work.

Who it fits

Finance and accounting staff at businesses that deal in Colombian pesos and need dated exchange rate records.

How it works

  1. You send a text or voice message naming a date to the chat bot
  2. AI reads the message and identifies the exact date
  3. The system checks the official Colombian government exchange rate data for that date
  4. If nothing is published that day, it checks up to ten days earlier
  5. You receive the rate straight back in chat
