An AI collections agent reads the replies customers send to your payment reminders and does the next step. Paidnice logs the promised date, updates the invoice and drafts your answer. Does the AI agent send replies on its own? Not unless you choose. Each drafted reply waits for a person to approve or edit it. You can pre-approve the types of action you trust, and Paidnice logs everything it does. Which replies does Paidnice read? Replies to the reminders, statements and late fee emails Paidnice sends. Connect Gmail or Outlook, or verify your own domain, and replies come back to your inbox. [See how sending from your own email works](https://www.paidnice.com/send-from-your-own-domain). What happens when a customer promises to pay? Paidnice logs the date as the expected payment date and drafts a reply. Reminders can skip the invoice while the promise is open, and the owner gets an email if the promise breaks. Can the AI agent update Xero or QuickBooks? Yes, once you approve it. Paidnice can add a missing PO number to the invoice and resend it, and update contact details from a reply. Can I give the AI agent its own accounts? Yes. The AI agent is a user in Paidnice with its own prompt and rules. Assign it the contacts or groups you want it to handle. [See roles and approvals](https://www.paidnice.com/approvals). Who can use the AI agent? Every Paidnice customer on Xero and QuickBooks Online.
