Ask

Ask your business.

Ask in plain language. Dokus works from the record beneath your business, shows the evidence behind the answer, and tells you when the record does not know.

Ask is on every plan. Free includes 15 questions a month; Core is unmetered.

One question

A question shouldn't becomea reporting project.

“Who owes me money right now?” In most software that question sends you through reports, filters and an export — or into a spreadsheet. In Dokus you ask it the way you would ask a person, and the answer comes back from the record, not from memory.

Which customers still owe more than €2,000?

3 confirmed invoices

No one prepared this answer. It is computed from the record it cites — and every line of it opens.

Three tenses

Questions in every tense.

The record holds the past, carries the present and already contains the committed future. Ask is one way into all three.

What happened

  • Why did cash fall last month?
  • What was my biggest expense this quarter?

Where you stand

  • Who still owes me money?
  • What is already due this month?

What comes next

  • What is already committed before quarter-end?
  • Which invoices fall due before the end of the month?
Kinds of answer

Certain answers should look different from uncertain ones.

A figure read from confirmed invoices is not the same kind of knowledge as a scenario. Known and committed answers come from the record itself. Pattern and scenario questions need Dokus Foresight. They come through the same surface, clearly labelled, and never sound surer than their assumptions allow.

Known · Committed · Pattern · Scenario · Unknown

Committed. Known now, due later.

What must leave the account is already in the record: the sum comes from confirmed obligations, and what cannot be known yet is named, never estimated.

What will leave the account before October 20?

Scenario. Likely is not certain.

With Dokus Foresight, a question about the future comes back with its assumptions attached — and never sounds more sure than the record allows.

Can I afford this hire?Dokus Foresight
ScenarioLikely, under these assumptions.
Salary cost, employer total€ 4,150 / month
Receipts, six-month median€ 9,800 / month
Obligations already committed€2,374.50

Assumes receipts hold their six-month range.

Foresight is read from the record — not accounting advice.

Unknown. Said plainly.

When the record cannot support an answer, Dokus says so. No figure appears: a named gap is worth more than an invented number.

What will my revenue be next year?
UnknownThe record does not reach that far.
Nothing invented
Evidence

Don't trust the answer.Open it.

Open the invoices, payments and obligations behind it. Every figure Ask produces is arithmetic over documents — so the proof of an answer is not a claim about accuracy. It is the evidence, attached.

Ask reasons over financial facts, not uploaded files. Three copies of one invoice still produce one amount in the answer.

Where it runs

The question stays with the record.

Your records are read and classified on infrastructure Dokus operates. Ask itself sends your question, and the records needed to answer it, to Anthropic under a data processing agreement — on our instructions, and never as training data.

Where Dokus runs

The answer comes with the evidence.

Ask the question. Open the answer.
