BRIGHT AI
Artificial Intelligence for accountants to power your practice
Bright AI is built directly into the software your practice already relies on.
Automate compliance work
Eliminate manual steps in mandated workflows, from AML checks to pre-submission review.
Win back billable time
Give your team back the hours spent gathering data and chasing clients, so their time goes on advice and client growth.
Human oversight throughout
Every output generated by Bright AI comes to you for review before it reaches Revenue.
BRIGHT AI ACROSS YOUR PRACTICE
Artificial intelligence built for every part of what you do.
Bright AI is embedded across the practice workflow, from client onboarding through to final filing, with capabilities built for each product.
Bright AI for Working Papers
BrightWorkpapers drafts your disclosure checklists, surfaces risks, raises review points and writes client queries, so your team reviews rather than starts from a blank file.
Bright AI for Practice Management
Client onboarding automates AML and identity checks end to end, and BrightComms handles client communication.
Multiple AI services, one operating layer
BrightWorkers (multi-step workflow automation), BrightComms (client communication) and BrightIntel (data and insight across products), with human oversight across every mandated submission.
Practical value from AI software across every part of your working day.
Less admin, more billable time - BrightComms automates client chasing, evidence requests and approvals, so your team stops doing the work that does not need a qualified accountant.
Faster answers when it counts - AskIPASS answers your team’s payroll questions with the right answer in seconds, rather than a half-hour hunt through Revenue guidance.
Stronger compliance, fewer professional risks - Human review is required for every output generated by Bright AI. Agents surface risks, raise review points and hand over to you before anything reaches Revenue.

MEET THE AI WORKERS
Your new team members.
Built into your Bright products.
Each of Bright AI’s agents owns a specific part of your practice workflow and handles it consistently and accurately, without needing to be chased.
More agents are in development, each introduced through the Early Adopter Programme and tested with real practices before general release.
Client onboarding
Takes a new client from enquiry through AML, identity and sanctions checks. The rest of the onboarding journey, including issuing the engagement letter, can be completed using automation in BrightManager.
Document requests
Issues year-end information requests and checklists per client, chases outstanding items until they arrive, and reads and extracts returned documents with no manual keying.
Client communications (in development)
Manages the messages your team sends by hand today - approval requests, deadline reminders, confirmations and follow-ups - with an auditable record of every message.
OUR APPROACH
Our approach to Artificial Intelligence. Built for real practice work.
Mapped, validated, and compliant. Bright has mapped 80 practice workflow steps, classifying every step as mandated or value-add and identifying exactly where AI delivers material time and risk reduction.
Bright AI augments, engines calculate
Bright AI handles interpretation, drafting and guidance, where judgement matters. The compliance engines handle the calculations that must be exactly right every time (PAYE Modernisation submissions, iXBRL tagging). The two never swap roles.
Human oversight at every step
Every output generated by Bright AI comes to you for review before it reaches Revenue, so a person signs off every mandated submission.
Built on real practice data
Bright processes over 4 million payslips a month and 100,000+ business accounts, so Bright AI understands real Irish practices rather than generic training data.
AI software for accountants designed for today's practice.
Bright AI is a growing layer of intelligence embedded across BrightPay, BrightBooks, BrightAccounts
Over time, this means more
More proactive assistance within everyday workflows, smarter task support across your service lines, deeper intelligence to guide advisory decisions, more routine work handled automatically where the compliance case is clear, and a practice that compounds knowledge rather than restarting each year.

How we think about AI
Bright AI strengthens professional judgement. (Bright AI Strategic Framework)
There’s a wealth of opportunity for AI at Bright, but in an industry where trust, accuracy and compliance are paramount, we need to tread carefully - we will never implement AI for the sake of it, only where it’s the right solution to add increased value for our customers.
Human accountability always
Bright AI may assist, flag, recommend, draft or explain, but never decide. Every final call rests with you, whether that’s taking on a new client or overriding an AI result on a document check.
Compliance-first by design
Every feature is grounded in payroll rules, tax logic and Revenue’s regulatory requirements, not generic AI.
Explainable or it doesn’t ship
If an AI output cannot be clearly explained, it does not go live, is not marketed and is not scaled. Every judgement Bright AI makes, from a document match to a check result, comes with the reasoning behind it, so you’re never asked to trust a black box.
Incremental, not disruptive
Bright AI is introduced gradually, with validation at every stage, and released only when it has proven its value with real practices.
Value, not hype
We adopt AI only where it helps you serve more clients, simplify complex tasks or improve service quality, never for the sake of buzz or trends.
GOVERNANCE AND AVAILABILITY
Trust, governance and availability
Bright AI is designed for regulated professional environments, operating within the same security, access-control and data-governance frameworks that protect your client data today.
Human oversight by design
You have full control between every Bright AI action and every mandated submission. Outputs are transparent and auditable, and your team stays in control of every decision.
Early Adopter Programme
Capabilities move through Entry Criteria, Gated Measurement and an Exit Decision (Go, Extend or Abandon) before wider release. Access may vary and depends on eligibility.
