FORLINE
The “For:” line for AI payments

Money that knows what it’s for.

Forline connects your AI assistant to money you set aside for each job. It pays only from the right box, only to people you approve, and only within your limits. Every payment carries what it was for, down to the tax line. Your bank account and cards never leave your hands.

    How it works

    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.

    For AI and software builders

    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.

    Tax tagged from day one

    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.

    Partners and investors

    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.

    Payment and banking platformsIssuing, accounts, and money movement partners who want a focused small business use case on their rails.
    AI assistants and agent buildersTeams who want their agents to pay bills safely for their users through one connector.
    Early backersAngels and funds who invest in fintech, AI agents, or tax and accounting software.
