Chat with your Tally in English, Hindi or Hinglish · Riko
Chat with your books

Ask Tally a question. Get the answer, not a report to dig through.

Who owes me more than sixty days? What did we spend on freight this quarter? Which customer bought less than last year? Today each of those means opening Tally, finding the right report and filtering it, or waiting for the person who knows how. With Riko you type the question in English, Hindi or Hinglish, in the web app, on the Android or iOS app, or on WhatsApp, and the answer comes back from your own ledgers.

Riko answering "Who owes me money?" with ₹13,77,083 outstanding across 16 parties, then the same question on WhatsApp
01

Answers from your ledgers, not from a guess.

Every figure is pulled live from your Tally data and checked against the ledger before you see it. When a number won't trace, Riko asks you instead of making one up.

Traceable · checked against the live ledger
02

The same chat on your laptop, your phone and WhatsApp.

Ask on the web at your desk, on the app in the car, or on WhatsApp at 9 PM. You get the same answer from the same books wherever you ask.

Follow-ups, the way you'd ask a person.

Ask "and last month?" or "only the Pune branch" and Riko keeps the thread. Say "run MIS for May" and the workpack starts right from the conversation.

How it works

From question to answer in one message

No report menus and no filters. You ask, Riko works it out from your books, and shows its working.

  1. 01

    Connect Tally once

    A small connector on the Windows PC where Tally runs syncs all your companies every few minutes. Setup takes under two minutes, and after that there's nothing to export.

  2. 02

    Ask in English, Hindi or Hinglish

    Type the question the way you'd say it, in whichever language you think in, or start from a suggested one: "Who owes me money, oldest first?", "What's my cash position right now?", "Top 10 customers by sales". Riko works out which ledgers, periods and parties you mean.

    The answer comes back with the detail

    You get the headline figure first, then the parties, bills or vouchers behind it, such as ₹13,77,083 owed by 16 parties. Beside it, a live result you can chart, download or share.

    Keep going, or turn it into work

    Narrow it, compare it with last year, or ask for the report. Say "run MIS for May" and the workpack starts from the same conversation.

In practice

Where it earns its keep

Owner

It's 9 PM and a big customer calls to ask for more credit.

On WhatsApp: "How much does Sunrise owe, and how old is it?" The answer comes back from your ledgers before the call ends.

Accountant

The owner wants freight compared with last quarter, again.

One question in chat instead of two reports and a spreadsheet, with the vouchers behind every figure if anyone asks.

CA

A client calls about margins mid-audit.

Ask Riko on that client's books and get the P&L for both periods with the lines that moved, without asking for a fresh export.

Being clear

What it doesn't do

FAQ

Questions people ask

What kind of questions can I ask?

Anything your Tally data can answer: who owes you and for how long, sales by month or by customer, expenses by head, stock on hand, cash and bank balances, P&L for any period. Ask it the way you'd ask your accountant, by party, period, ledger or item.

How do I know the answer is right?

Riko reads the figures from your synced Tally data, not from memory. Before you see an answer it checks the totals against the ledger, marks it Figures verified from your data, and shows how it worked it out. When a figure won't trace back to your books, Riko tells you instead of guessing.

Does chat work on WhatsApp?

Yes. You can ask the same questions on WhatsApp and get the same answers from the same books, alongside the web app and the Android and iOS apps.

Can chat change anything in my Tally?

No. Chat only reads. Anything that would post to Tally, such as a voucher, is prepared as a draft and waits for a person to approve it.

Which languages does it understand?

English, Hindi and Hinglish. Ask "Who owes me money?" or "Is mahine ka profit kitna hua?" and the answer comes from the same books either way. Questions are typed; voice input isn't available yet.

How current are the answers?

The connector on your Tally PC syncs every few minutes, so answers reflect your books as of the last sync. If the Tally PC is off, Riko answers from the last synced data.

Chat, including WhatsApp, is in every plan, starting with Basic.
