What Ember AI is
Ember AI is the AI assistant built into Campfire. Ask it a question and get an answer in 30 seconds with full source attribution — down to the underlying transactions. It doesn't just answer: it drafts commentary, analyzes variances, builds reports, and creates journal entries from uploaded documents.
This is work that normally requires 2–3 analysts. Ember does it in seconds.
What Ember AI does
Answers finance questions instantly — "Why did costs spike in April?" "What's our NRR this quarter?" "What's our runway at current burn?" Ember answers with source data, not a guess. Every response shows its work.
Flux variance commentary — Ember runs period-over-period variance analysis automatically and drafts the commentary that explains the why behind each material change. Your team reviews and edits instead of writing from scratch. Board-ready in minutes.
Custom reports on demand — Describe the report you need and Ember builds it. Drag-and-drop. Drill down from any number to the source transaction. Real-time data, no exports required.
Journal entries from documents — Upload a bill, invoice, or contract and Ember creates the journal entry directly in your GL. You approve before it posts.
Budget vs. actuals analysis — Ember drills into BvA at any level — department, entity, cost center — and explains what's driving variances with supporting transactions.
Executive Q&A — When the CEO asks a question in a board meeting, you have the answer before the meeting ends. Ember answers in 30 seconds with full source attribution.
Role-based access
Ember respects your permission structure. Users only see data they're permissioned for — Ember won't surface information across segregation of duties boundaries. Every query is logged in the audit trail.
What this replaces
The work Ember handles — variance analysis, flux commentary, executive reporting, journal entry creation from documents — normally falls to 2–3 finance analysts. Ember does it automatically, with full source attribution and a complete audit trail.
