How can I build a simple tool so a bookkeeper who doesn't want to learn AI can still get bank statements turned into financials without directly using Claude?

You can ask Claude to build a small custom tool (an 'artifact') that lives as a simple webpage or HTML file the bookkeeper can bookmark and use like a website. In the prompt, tell Claude the person has no AI or coding experience, so the interface should be very simple with an obvious drag-and-drop area for bank statements, plus a chat box at the bottom where she can type questions and get instructions. Claude can generate perfect financials from dropped-in bank statements almost instantly, and if you don't like the output, you give it feedback and it rewrites the tool on the spot. This can either live entirely outside QuickBooks, or you can build an MCP connector so that whatever gets built pushes directly into QuickBooks — that choice is up to you.
