over the last number of weeks, Claude is doubling down on finance and accounting workflows. Just last week, they introduced a whole bunch of different workflows, and I want to give it a whirl. So one of the things that they actually put out was this, for example, a reconciliation skill, which is essentially helping to do bank reconciliations. And we all know that this is a tedious task. First of all, I needed some data. So what I did is I went to Kaggle, where you can get open data, and I grabbed some data, some bank reconciliation data. So in this data, they had a bank statement, they had a company cash book, they had some other data. Now, I put this Excel document into Claude's reconciliation workflow, but I didn't give it the bank statement because I didn't want it to have the answer. And so I put this into Claude and I asked him, hey, I want you to, based on this data, create a new bank reconciliation. What these tools are really good at is reasoning. I mean, it's getting better and better every single day at figuring out, taking a look at all the data across all the different tabs, and putting together a pretty good bank reconciliation statement with incredible formatting as well.
