What AI-powered bookkeeping alternatives to QuickBooks are emerging?

QuickBooks has been aggressively adding AI features, including a new bank feed capability that can categorize transactions more intelligently than before, to the point where users barely need to go into QuickBooks itself. Competing standalone tools were also mentioned, including Digits and Puzzle, which are described as not yet fully evaluated but reputedly strong. The main advantage cited for these newer tools is that they present a cleaner experience — starting with the balance sheet or P&L — rather than QuickBooks' cluttered double-entry interface where users get lost in the weeds and never see the end result.
