AI expense trackers pull transactions from bank feeds, cards, receipts and email, categorize them automatically and show where money goes — for a household, a freelancer or a company's spend. The AI part is mostly categorization and anomaly spotting; the part that determines whether you keep using it is the bank connection, which depends on your country and bank. Check that first, then the exports your accountant needs.
