Kiaro · In the open
What we are building next
Kiaro is under active development. Here is what we have shipped recently, what we are working on now, and where we are headed. No fixed dates, just an honest look at our priorities.
Recently shipped
8Retainer billing
InvoicingSet a monthly flat fee with an included hours allowance and Kiaro drafts the invoice on your billing day, with overage billed automatically. Bill in advance or in arrears, pick any billing day to match your client's payment run, cut an invoice on demand, and get a home-page reminder if a period goes uninvoiced. Mid-month starts are prorated. Unlimited retainers on every plan, including Free.
Xero integration
IntegrationsSend an invoice in Kiaro and it pushes to Xero with the right contact, account code, and tax rate already filled in. When your client pays, Kiaro flips the invoice to paid the moment Xero reconciles it, even on bank transfers outside Stripe. Available on Solo and Team.
Try Kiaro at /try
OnboardingStep into a fully working Kiaro with realistic clients, projects, invoices, and time entries already there. No signup, no demo call. When you are ready, one click converts the sandbox into your real account with everything you created intact.
Actionable AI briefings
AIAsk the command bar what to focus on today and get back clickable cards instead of a wall of text. Each card carries a one-tap action: send reminder, mark paid, start timer. Your briefing stays put as you work through it.
AI-drafted invoice follow-ups
AIOverdue invoices show a one-click prompt to draft a stage-aware follow-up email: friendly at 14 days, direct at 21, formal at 30. Edit, copy, and send from your own inbox.
Uninvoiced-value prompt
InvoicingWhen a project crosses $500 in unbilled billable time, Kiaro offers to draft the invoice right then. It catches the most common revenue leak in solo consulting before it becomes a quarter you cannot recover.
Client Snapshot on every form
ClientsPick a client on the new-invoice, new-proposal, or new-project form and a panel on the right shows what you already know: primary contact, default currency and tax, days-to-pay, open balance, prior history. Context next to the form, not three tabs away.
Inline portal invoice payments
PortalClients pay your invoice on the same page they read it. Cards plus SEPA, iDEAL, and Bancontact, in EUR, GBP, USD, or ZAR. Funds settle directly to your Stripe account.
In progress
5Mobile and offline install
MobileA thumb-friendly pass across every page: a fixed bottom timer bar on phones, stacked card layouts for invoice and proposal line items, bottom-sheet pickers, and Add-to-Home-Screen support on iOS and Android.
Knowledge Base v2
KnowledgeA rebuild of the knowledge base as a connected information layer your AI assistant can reason over. Notes, decisions, contracts, and meeting summaries linked together so Kiaro remembers the reasoning behind each engagement.
QuickBooks Online integration
IntegrationsThe same two-way sync as Xero, against QuickBooks Online. Built on the shared provider abstraction so the connect, mapping, and push flows match the ones Solo and Team users already know from Xero.
Send from your own domain
EmailAuthenticate your sending domain and your invoices, reminders, and proposals go out as you, not via reply.kiaro.io. Available on the Team plan.
Client conversations in-app
ClientsWhen a client replies to one of your Kiaro emails, the reply lands inside the app on the relevant invoice, proposal, or project, and feeds your AI assistant's context. The conversation lives with the work, not buried in Gmail.
Planned
6Workflow automations
AutomationsTrigger actions automatically: when an invoice is paid mark the project step delivered, when a proposal is accepted spin up the project and tasks, when a contract is signed request a kickoff meeting. Built for the consulting flow, not as generic wiring.
Leads and pipeline
ClientsA public intake form, lead-to-client conversion, and deal stages from first contact through signed contract. The funnel side of the practice, alongside the delivery side.
E-signatures on contracts
ContractsSend a contract from Kiaro and your client signs it inline at a branded link, the same way proposals already work. No DocuSign or PandaDoc subscription on top.
AI business coach
AIProactive cash-flow projections, scope-creep alerts when logged hours diverge from the proposal, and quiet observations about who has been silent too long. AI proposes, you decide.
Calendar, video, and chat integrations
IntegrationsCalendly meetings auto-create Kiaro meetings, Zoom recordings attach to the project, Slack channels post overdue invoice nudges, and Zapier covers the rest. Connect to the tools you already pay for.
One-click importers
MigrationBring your time entries, clients, and invoices in from Toggl, FreshBooks, or HoneyBook. Migration should not be the reason you stay on a tool you have outgrown.
