Zoho Books AI features
Zoho Books AI features arrive through Bonfire Terminal, which orchestrates AI agents against the Zoho Books API. Send invoices, log expenses, and review cash flow from chat, with the AI running local-first on your machine rather than a hosted cloud service.

Zoho Books — questions
Can Bonfire automate Zoho Books?
Yes. Bonfire runs on your machine, holds your Zoho Books credentials locally, and a connected model (Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok) drives the Zoho Books API to run the actions you ask for in chat.
Does my Zoho Books data go to the cloud?
Bonfire runs on your desktop and keeps your keys local — it isn't a SaaS holding your data. Only the specific request you approve is sent to your chosen AI model.
Which AI models can I use?
Any connected model — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok. A fully offline Llama model runs locally for private reasoning but can't reach live APIs.
