Latch.ai

Key facts: Latch.ai launched on Product Hunt in November 2026. It is built for accountants buried in click-heavy close work: instead of writing prompts, you do a task on screen and talk it through, including the parts no SOP captures, like the three-day matching window or the rate you always override. Latch asks about the exceptions, then builds a sidekick that runs the task the same way every time, right in the tools you already use. When something does not fit, it stops and asks you. Every step is logged for review, and several people's recordings of the same process can be combined into one sidekick.

Plans: Open $0, free forever (1 user, 50 monthly credits). Solo $50 a month ($40 billed annually, 500 credits). Power $490 a month ($392 billed annually, 5,000 pooled credits, multi-recording synthesis). Team $1,499 a month ($1,199 billed annually, 20,000 pooled credits, role-based access, assisted onboarding). Enterprise is custom.

Best for: Accountants and finance teams repeating the same close tasks every month. Who should skip it: anyone whose accounting work is one-off, or who wants a prompt-based chatbot.

Pros

• Free-forever plan to try it on your own work
• No prompts to write: the training is doing the work once, on screen
• Sidekicks stop and ask when something does not fit, instead of guessing
• Every step logged, and several recordings can merge into one sidekick

Watch out for

• Paid plans jump from $50 to $490 a month once you need a team
• Credits cap how much sidekick work each plan covers per month
• A sidekick is only as good as the recording you train it on
