One-on-One: How do I work with Arcarius?

To get the best results from Arcarius, it helps to know a few things.

How to phrase good requests

• Talk to Arcarius like a coworker – naturally and in full sentences. You don’t need special commands.
• Be specific: what should it do, what does it relate to (accounts, period, company), and what should the result look like (e.g. as an Excel file)?
• One topic per chat. For a new topic, it’s best to start a new chat – it’s faster and cheaper.
• Iterate. Not quite right? Just say what should be different (“shorter”, “top 5 only”, “as a table”) – Arcarius adjusts.

Good to know

• Arcarius can make mistakes – please verify critical information.
• Long chats take longer. Arcarius reads the existing conversation with every request; for new topics a new chat is worth it.
• Answer quality depends directly on the quality of your accounting. Outdated data, incorrect or misleading postings, and missing booking texts reduce accuracy.
• Need data newer than “as of yesterday”? Reload the transactions – this updates the general ledger, subledgers, and documents (more on data freshness).
• Large requests take a little time – depending on the task, Arcarius considers thousands of transactions and documents to deliver the best possible quality.

Reuse an earlier prompt: when the cursor is on the first line of the input field, press the up arrow to move through your recent prompts. Press the down arrow to move forward again until you return to your current draft.

Organize and share chats with your team

• A new chat for each new topic keeps the context clean.
• Pin important chats so they stay at the top; mark individual chats as read or unread.
• Share with your team: share one chat or enable My chats in the team for your existing and future chats in that company. An organization policy or Project assignment can also make a chat shared. External access (client/auditor) does not see internal chats.
