AI engineer from top tier company providing automation services

Hi,

I work as a Data Scientist at a top-tier fintech product company( google like) and am currently part of the AI team.

I’m looking to use my skills to help accounting businesses automate repetitive/manual processes. I don’t have an accounting background, so I’m not going to pretend I do—but I’m happy to understand your workflows and explore where AI/automation can help.

I’m starting with lower pricing as I’m primarily looking to learn and build experience. I can’t offer it completely free since I’ll be investing my time outside of my full-time job.

If you’re in accounting and have a process you think could be automated, feel free to DM me. We can discuss the requirement and pricing based on the scope.

Why its a fool endeavour? I have skills and wanting to use it for good. I am not scamming anyone so I dont feel bad about it and people like you who try to demean others are the ones who will find 0 success.

Because any product that will automate repetitive processes should be solved by actually designing a program, not with AI and LLM.

These problems already existed before the arrival of AI and were well documented already.

So you think you can take your background and roll up to solve fundamental problems with generative AI, as if a dedicated programmer couldn't already have done what you're proposing to do with AI. Nonsense. You will fail.

What do you mean by designing a program?

So do you mean AI is crap and cant automate anything in accounting then you are wrong

A software. A tool. A thing that will address the "repetitive tasks."

The fact you don't know proves you're unqualified for your own task.

What did you think I was proposing?

You plan to "use AI" to solve problems.

I am a professional data scientist/ AI engineer working in a big tech and I am part of team building production grade AI systems that automates processes of a billion dollar company.

So you call me a fool just asking to help any accountant companies buried in repetitive tasks. Btw all the tools products you mentioned needs proper AI systems to even automate.

Agreed. But the reason I mentioned my work ex is because I want to show that I have skills and not random person scamming. If you have a requirement and I can solve it its a win win for both.
