CTO @leapfin

[Erik @eya0]

When @raymond_lau and I started Leapfin, we set out to solve a deceptively hard engineering problem: turning messy, fragmented transaction data from dozens of disconnected systems into accurate, accounting-ready financials that finance teams could actually trust.

Anyone who has worked on financial data knows how unforgiving that problem is.

That foundation is also what made our AI work possible. With Luca, our AI agent for automating revenue recognition and reconciliation, we set out to prove that AI in accounting doesn't have to be a black box that hallucinates, and that with the right architecture, it can be deterministic, auditable, and trusted by the most skeptical auditor.

The biggest lesson we learned building it: the foundation matters more than the model.

Reliable AI doesn't run on a swamp of spreadsheets but on clean, structured, immutable data.

That's the hard thing our team built, and joining @Airwallex means we get to keep solving that problem with far more resources behind us.

This is just the beginning.

the next billion users are agents. ship clean APIs. expose the logic. optimize for inference, not eyeballs.

human first is technical debt. agent first is the only meta

[Erik @eya0]

Don't understand the agent hype? Imagine an office that's essentially an automated software factory with employees working tirelessly around the clock.

If you can describe what you want clearly, anything can be built cheaply and quickly.

[Erik @eya0]

@melvynx Agree, but only if you’re a software engineer

[Erik @eya0]

@justbyte_ Yes

[Erik @eya0]

@yacineMTB "this refactor will take a few weeks" ... gets it done in 5 min. thx for the great estimate

[Erik @eya0]

@burkeholland Coding is like hand-tailoring every garment, but vibe coding is like running a textile factory. Both are still part of garment production, just at different scales and levels of abstraction.

@gregisenberg accurate

@dreamsofcode_io Choose the cheapest one and start building. At this point they're all very good, even the open source Chinese ones.

If your AI SaaS software requires me to click around forms, inputs, buttons, etc. - don't call it AI.

I expect to do everything that was sold to me with only a chat window and an output of the work done.

[Erik @eya0]

@ASvanevik experiencing the same issue

[Erik @eya0]

@ErikSchluntz 😍

[Erik @eya0]

@DominikTornow I find it the opposite - addicted to it and having to peel myself away to go to bed!

@Pauline_Cx Future: If a user asks for a feature --> "Claude, add this feature, make no mistakes"

[Erik @eya0]

@SamMendelsohnW6 If shopify data does have the correct state at time of purchase and it changes later, this is absolutely doable, albeit not historically since that information is already lost. But definitely going forward.

[Erik @eya0]

@eachus and soon they will just only require AI skills

[Erik @eya0]

@AFMBlog @beginagain110 @HustleBitch_ Or just ask any AI to set it up for you

[Erik @eya0]

@alxfazio solution - don't use MCP
