How long does invoice processing take?
The same-day answer is the standard: a supplier invoice that arrives in the morning is entered and filed by the evening. A human invoice clerk often takes 3–5 days because invoices wait in the inbox until someone gets to them; an AI employee processes each one the day it lands, and only stops when something needs your decision.
Speed is a queue problem, not a typing problem. Typing one invoice takes minutes — the delay is that invoices sit in an inbox until a person is free. Nika watches her mailbox continuously, so the queue is empty the same day. There is no daily cap: 5 invoices on a quiet Monday and 25 on a busy Saturday are both finished the day they arrive.
Two things can slow a single invoice: an unclear field (a handwritten note, a missing VAT rate) that goes to your approval queue instead of being guessed, and the first-time setup of where your records live. Both are one-time or rare. The invoice cost calculator shows what the processing time is worth in money.

Can AI process invoices faster than a human?
Yes, mostly because AI has no other tasks. A human clerk splits time between invoices and everything else, so invoices wait; an AI employee is dedicated to the one job and processes each invoice the day it arrives.
What happens when an invoice is unclear?
It goes to your approval queue instead of being guessed. You answer the one question — which project it belongs to, whether the amount is right — and processing continues. That one invoice is not charged until it is finished.
