QuickBooks’ new AI agents accelerate business efficiency

By Nikki Dual Published July 31, 2025

Intuit is reimagining business operations, and its latest upgrade to QuickBooks is a paradigm shift. Starting July 1, U.S. customers will have access to AI agents that are deployed across QuickBooks Online, backed by redesigned web and mobile interfaces. This virtual team will dramatically reduce the time businesses spend on manual tasks, up to 12 hours a month, according to Intuit’s internal data.

These aren’t your general-purpose chatbots. They’re vertical-specific, domain-trained tools integrated within QuickBooks ecosystem to handle complex tasks autonomously and proactively. Early results are speaking for themselves: 78% of customers report that Intuit’s AI makes running their business easier, while 68% say they now have more time to grow their business instead of being buried in the back office.

Let’s explore the core agents driving this transformation:

Payments Agent: boosts cash flow by helping your business get paid up to five days faster. It predicts late payments, automates invoice creation, tracks outstanding balances, and sends reminders, all without you having to lift a finger.

Accounting Agent: Say goodbye to spreadsheet sprawl. This agent handles your bookkeeping and categorizes transactions as they happen, minimizing errors and delivering accurate, reconciled books.

Finance Agent: Designed for growing and mid-market businesses, the Finance Agent offers deep financial insight through KPI monitoring, scenario planning, and peer benchmarking. It will provide your finance team with actionable, data-driven forecasts to guide long-term strategy.

Customer Hub: The centralized command center for CRM gets a serious upgrade with two new agents. First, the Customer Agent automates lead sourcing, email follow-ups, meeting scheduling, and customer tracking. Coming later this year, the Marketing Agent will sync with Mailchimp to automate audience segmentation and campaign execution.

All agents are paired with human experts for users who want an extra level of assurance or guidance. You get all of this wrapped in a modern UI built for real-world application. Customizable dashboards, mobile-first responsiveness, and widget-driven layouts bring business metrics and AI outputs front and center so nothing falls through the cracks.

Quickbooks is redefining what accounting software can do. These AI agents are built to scale with your business and eliminate the need to constantly switch between tools or dashboards. That’s real operational efficiency, not merely hype.

Whether you’re a solopreneur, a startup, or a scaling enterprise, this new experience in QuickBooks is designed to let you focus on strategy and growth, your team of AI agents will handle the grind.
