Sage is one of the largest accounting and ERP software providers globally, serving millions of small and medium businesses through Sage 50 (desktop accounting), Sage 200 (mid-market ERP), Sage Intacct (cloud accounting), and Sage Business Cloud. Its AI capabilities, integrated throughout the product family, apply machine learning to automate accounting tasks and surface financial insights.
Sage Copilot is the generative AI assistant embedded across Sage products — answering questions about financial data in plain English ('what was our Q3 gross margin?' or 'which customers are most overdue?'), generating financial reports, and providing proactive alerts about financial patterns requiring attention.
Automated data entry uses ML to categorise bank transactions, extract data from invoices and receipts (via OCR and ML), and suggest accounting codes — reducing the manual bookkeeping that consumes finance team time. For SMBs doing their own bookkeeping, this automation is the highest-value time savings.
Sage Active, Sage's newest product, is built AI-natively with continuous accounting — real-time transaction processing rather than batch close periods — and AI assistance embedded throughout the accounting workflow.
At pricing included in Sage subscriptions rather than as an additional cost, Sage AI is accessible to the millions of businesses already using Sage without incremental budget commitment.
Sage AI runs as document analysis llm software built around text and document workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, desktop, and ios.
