Latch is built for accountants buried in click-heavy close work. Instead of writing prompts, you do a task on screen and talk it through, including the parts no SOP captures: the three-day matching window, the rate you always override. Latch asks about the exceptions, then builds a sidekick that runs the task the same way every time, right in the tools you already use. When something doesn't fit, it stops and asks you. Every step is logged for review.

Could you build this?
Partial The screen-recording and sidekick-builder UI is vibe-codeable, but reliably learning accounting workflows and executing them against real ledgers requires deep accounting domain knowledge and integrations with ERP systems.
What it would actually take: Build a desktop or browser capture layer that records clicks, screenshots and the user's narration, then has an LLM turn the sessions into structured rules and exception logic. The agent then replays those steps through accessibility APIs or ERP connectors such as NetSuite, QuickBooks or Xero, with approval gates. The hard parts are robust UI-grounded automation that survives software changes and accounting-specific reconciliation logic, which needs a CPA or controller to validate and pilot with real close cycles.
