A money order you write once, that your AI spends carefully.
Today an AI can find your bills, read your invoices, and tell you what is due. It still cannot pay them without handing it your card. Forline closes that gap with money that is already set aside and rules that are already written.
Load a box
Move money in from your bank into a box built for one purpose: software, contractors, a rental property, quarterly taxes. Make as many as you need.
Write the rules
Name who can be paid, the limit per payment, the limit per month, and what needs your OK. Be as loose or as specific as you want.
Connect your AI
Add Forline to Claude, ChatGPT, or any assistant that supports connectors. It reaches the boxes you choose and nothing else, pays on time, and keeps the receipt.
One connector between AI and money with a purpose.
Forline is the layer in the middle. Assistants and apps plug in once and get safe, rule bound payments that already know what they were for. No card numbers in prompts, no custom bank integrations, and a clean record on every transaction.

A preview of the planned connector. Names and fields may change before launch.
Your books are done before you ask for them.
Each box knows what it is for, so every payment lands with its tax category already attached. At year end you hand your preparer a clean report instead of a shoebox. Built by a tax firm that works with traders, real estate investors, and business owners every day.

Your AI gets a budget, not your wallet.
The safest payment is one that was planned before it was made. Forline is built around limits first.
We are building this now. Come build it with us.
The big networks are building the rails that let AI pay. Forline is the layer on top that knows what each payment was for, in the terms the IRS uses. It starts with a built in audience: the clients of a tax firm that already handles their money questions. We want to hear from three kinds of partners.
