Human step
Confirmed
Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.
Human approval
You verify figures and approve the deck before it goes to investors.
Watch out for
A forecast is a model, not a fact. Label assumptions clearly in the update.
Starter prompt
Goal: Produce a credible monthly cash view and update without a finance team. Tools involved: Xero, Julius AI, Gamma. Your part: provides the balance sheet, profit and loss, and aged receivables and payables over mcp; drafts a deck from your outline and charts. Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

What we checked
Xero MCP. Xero’s local server has tools for the balance sheet, profit and loss, trial balance, and aged receivables and payables by contact. Ask your AI platform to put the figures you need into a CSV. Xero’s remote server needs the Core developer plan or above for real organisations.
Julius AI has no MCP server, so you upload the CSV yourself. It analyzes files and creates charts. Paid plans start at $16 a month billed annually, and there’s a $0 tier (checked 2026-10-17). We didn’t check which formats Julius exports charts in; download one and make sure it imports into your deck.
Gamma MCP can create presentations from text or from a template and export them. Generation runs asynchronously and draws on your Gamma plan’s credits.
Set it up
Pull the last 12 months of cash, receivables and payables from Xero into a CSV.
Upload it to Julius and ask for a runway chart under two or three stated assumptions.
Give Gamma a short outline: highlights, numbers, asks, and the charts.
Check every figure against Xero, label each assumption, and edit before you share.
