The product
Not screenshots — every module below is live code, drawn by the same components the app uses.
AI inside
Four of them. Each is the same short flow — something goes in, the AI reads it, and a person has the last word.
Shoot it. Booked. A photo becomes a drafted entry — account, amount, date, already filled in. Nothing is posted until you confirm it.
A photo, a scan, or the PDF the vendor emailed. Drop a dozen at once — they queue up and you clear them one at a time.
Photos and PDFs. Several in one go.
Vendor, amount, date, currency. It tells you how sure it is, and asks when it isn’t — rather than guessing quietly.
The original image is filed with the entry, so the paper never goes missing.
Category, account and project come pre-filled and stay editable. It checks the ledger for a duplicate before anything lands.
Nothing reaches the books until you press confirm.
The bank, reconciled. Every line on the statement, matched against your ledger. What is missing, what disagrees, what is still clearing.
The PDF your bank sends, or a photograph of it. Say which account it belongs to. That is the whole set-up.
PDF or image. Every transaction, not just the totals.
Period, closing balance, and each transaction shown before anything is compared — so a bad read is caught while it is still cheap.
Long statements run their full length. Anything hidden is stated.
The gap, and the four reasons it exists: matched, unrecorded, disagreeing, still clearing. Record a missing line and it posts straight into the ledger.
Nothing is written until you press Record on that line.
Say the work. See the price. Every quote you have won and lost, and the hours each one really took, set the number. Draft from the closest.
A sentence you type. A screenshot of the chat. The client’s PDF. It reads all three, and asks for nothing else.
Images and PDFs, up to 12 MB. The file is read, then discarded — it is never stored.
What this kind of work won at, what it lost at, the hours it really took, and the margin the ledger actually realised. None of it is estimated.
Drawn from your own quote history — a few past quotes and it starts working.
Every line comes back in your studio’s own phrasing, beside the past quote its price came from. The brief suggested forty. Your books said thirty-seven — and the books win.
The AI never writes a number. What your history cannot price stays blank, and says so.
Documents, fresh off the press. A quote or an invoice in one tap. Numbered, chopped, signed, and typeset like you meant it.
Quote or invoice, the project it belongs to, and what you are charging for. The total adds itself up as you type.
The first line of an item is its title. The rest indents itself.
Your letterhead, a running number, the client, the lines, the total. The chop and the signature go on or come off with one tap.
The same sheet on screen, on paper, and in the PDF.
Every document lands in the library, sorted by kind and by state. Quotes carry their outcome — accepted, lost, and the reason why.
Exports as a PDF that looks the same everywhere.
Every one of these ends the same way. The AI drafts, you check it, and nothing reaches the books until someone presses Save.
The honest comparison
Firms, bookkeepers, generic software — the usual way, in one column. What replaces it, in the other.
Under the hood
World-standard double-entry, and the boring security work — already done.
Every entry posts twice, so the books can never drift — statements a bank will take seriously.
Security isn’t an add-on. It’s the default — and your data leaves whenever you ask.

Real searches. Honest answers.
There is now. dejimalive raises print-ready A4 invoices and quotations in your studio’s own type — HKD-native, properly numbered, chop and signature included. Your accountant gets a clean ledger; your client gets a document that looks like you charge enough.
Describe the project — Smart Quoting drafts the line items and pricing, and it leaves the printer as a beautiful A4 quote. When the client says yes, it becomes the invoice in one tap.
No. Take a photo — the AI reads the amount, date and account, drafts the entry, and waits for your nod. Bookkeeping for people who became designers specifically to avoid bookkeeping.
Real double-entry on the accrual basis — the same standard books are kept to anywhere in the world — with a trial balance that actually balances. Partner capital and drawings done properly, retainers deferred until earned, and records kept the seven years the IRD expects.
That’s exactly who it’s built for. The big tools do everything for everyone; dejimalive does a studio’s money — quotes, invoices, receipts, retainers, profit by project — with no implementation consultant in sight.
Yes. The live demo is the real app with a studio’s books already inside — click around, judge freely. No email, no card, no “book a call”.
English, 繁體中文 and 日本語 — the whole interface, and the documents too. Built in Hong Kong, for how Hong Kong studios actually work and bill.
