Only reads figures
It never posts, changes or deletes anything in TallyPrime.
A reminder on every answer
Every answer screen reminds you that AI answers can be wrong and that important figures should be checked in TallyPrime’s own reports.
Questions it handles well
- Who owes us the most money?
- Which customer bills are overdue, and by how many days?
- Which supplier bills should we pay first?
- Compare our sales month by month. Which was the best month?
- What is our gross profit this period?
- How much cash and bank do we hold at the end of the period?
- How much stock do we hold, and what is it worth?
- When did Mwanza Hardware last pay us, and how much? (with “Include transactions” set to Yes)
- Mauzo yetu ya kipindi hiki ni kiasi gani?
What it can’t answer yet
- Two separate periods at once, such as this year against last year. It sees one period at a time, split into months.
- Individual vouchers, unless “Include transactions” is set to Yes on the question screen.
- Bill-by-bill detail for parties whose ledgers don’t keep bill-wise details.
- Month-by-month figures for a primary group that has been renamed: they are read by TallyPrime’s standard names, such as Sales Accounts.
- Gross profit when the Stock-in-Hand group has no figures. It says so and points you to TallyPrime’s Profit & Loss A/c instead of guessing.
How a question is answered
TallyPrime sends the question
The add-on sends your question, with the figures for the open company and period, over HTTPS to Powercomputers’ service.
Powercomputers checks the licence
The service checks your licence, then asks an AI model to answer from the figures sent and nothing else.
The answer appears in TallyPrime
The answer comes back in English or Swahili and is shown on screen, line by line. The AI model has no access to TallyPrime itself.
Using PowerTally AI
- 1
Open the company and set the period. Balances and unpaid bills are as at the end of the period, so to see what is owed today, end the period today. For month-by-month questions, cover the months you want.
- 2
On the Gateway of Tally, press Ctrl+Alt+A or choose Ask Tally AI.
- 3
Type the question, in English or Swahili, in up to 250 characters.
- 4
Leave “Include transactions” at No unless the question is about individual vouchers, such as one payment, invoice or narration. Yes sends every voucher in the period, which is slower and uses more of your allowance.
- 5
Press Enter. The answer appears a few seconds later, with the question, company and period shown above it.
- 6
Press Esc to change the question and ask again. Press Esc again to return to the Gateway of Tally.
Tips for good answers
- Use ledger and group names as they appear in TallyPrime.
- Ask one thing at a time. A focused question gets a shorter, clearer answer.
- To ask about another company, open it in TallyPrime first.
Your licence and usage
Powercomputers installs PowerTally AI for you. Your copy of the add-on is made for your company and locked to your TallyPrime serial number, and each PC that should have the Ask Tally AI button needs it installed.
A licence runs for a set period and includes a monthly allowance of AI use.
Tally AI Usage, on the Gateway of Tally or with Alt+U on the question or answer screen, shows how much of this month’s allowance you have used, about how many questions are left and when your licence ends.
Past 80% of the allowance, each answer says how much is used. At the limit, depending on how your licence is set up, it either stops answering until more is added or carries on and the extra is billed. Call Powercomputers to add more.
