Imminent Destruction of Xero Accounts by Agentic AI (Snapshots required)
Xero instances need user restorable snapshots (daily, weekly, monhtly). AI Agents with API access are about to destroy people's accounts by mass delete/create operations, incorrect operations and making poor assumptions. Now is the time for Xero to act. I can see this going poorly if not addressed this side of AI accounting adoption. Image for attention as a joke and satire - please don't sue me.
Hi Josh, appreciate your feedback and I've made sure to share this back with our product teams.
We understand concerns around Xero's use of AI - While features like JAX can perform tasks for you, it won't act on your behalf - it needs your prompts to perform. You can learn more about JAX security on Xero Central.
Though not available for users to restore their organisation to a previous state, Xero does perform daily backups of customer data to protect against data corruption and hosting service failures. Most actions in Xero are reversible and if you're worried about any bulk actions or outcomes of using a feature our Xero Support team are available through Xero Central to help answer and discuss your questions. Thanks
