Chat

Chat is where you work with Tempo directly. Ask a question, give it a task, or describe recurring work you want it to take over.

Ask questions

Tempo can read all of your Tabs data, so you can ask the questions you’d otherwise answer with exports and filters.

• “Which customers are more than 60 days overdue and have a card on file?”
• “Why did Acme’s revenue drop in October?”
• “Which draft invoices are still waiting on a PO?”

Tempo shows the steps it took to get the answer, so you can check its work.

Hand off work

Ask Tempo to do anything you could do in Tabs, for one record or many.

• “Resend every invoice more than 30 days overdue to its billing contact.”
• “Move the invoice date on these 4 drafts to the 1st of next month.”
• “Email Acme’s AP contact asking for a PO on invoice INV-1042.”

Tempo proposes each change before it happens. Nothing is updated, sent, or posted until you approve it. See Approvals.

Files

Attach CSV, JSON, or PDF files to a message, up to 100 MB each. Tempo reads PDFs, including scanned ones. Ask for results as a file and Tempo returns a CSV you can download from the chat.

Turn a chat into a routine

When you’ve walked Tempo through a task you do regularly, ask it to make that a routine: “Do this every Monday at 9.” Tempo plays the routine back to you before it saves anything. See Routines.
