The written part of this email will be brief since I created an awesome video instead.
Forgive the bad video editing. Hopefully the content makes up for it.

We’re going to build an app that forecasts our sales 90 days in the future using AI.

We’re going to build the app with AI…

We’re going to deploy the app with AI…

And the app itself uses AI to forecast sales…

Skeptical?

I was too. Until I built it myself.

Link to the video and the app below.

Let’s go!

Are you a finance leader who wants to lead with AI?

Imagine waking up every day to a daily sales report in your inbox that tells you exactly what caused sales to dip yesterday - down to the specific product/geography/customer.

Then, every Friday you get an email with your updated daily sales projection showing the underlying trend and 90 day outlook. The projection uses a time-series AI model, an AI model built on your CRM data, and a simple summary of the output to give you confidence.

Hours later, the CEO stops you in the hallway and mentions the sales results - you have a few tricks up your sleeve…

We’re currently building this exact thing - AI-powered analytics for CFOs with 0 human involvement. We’re calling it Insight Engine.

If you’re interested in being an early adopter, join the waitlist!

AI Sales Forecast

Quick disclaimer: This app isn’t intended to be used for your company data (you are welcome to use it for that, but that’s not the point). Instead, you should use this as inspiration to build your own stuff.

And if you are super excited about the intersection of AI and FP&A/Finance, you should join this community I’m launching called Rows and Robots. It’s free for now, but not for long.

Here’s a link to the tool: Sales Forecasting Dashboard
