Setup guide
Connect ChatGPT to RecHound
Ask ChatGPT about your month end using Developer mode.
Before you start
- A paid ChatGPT plan. Custom connections use ChatGPT's Developer mode.
- On ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, your workspace admin may need to allow Developer mode first.
- ChatGPT on the web (chatgpt.com) to set it up.
Steps
No API key needed: you sign in with your RecHound login. It takes about two minutes.
Turn on Developer mode
Create the RecHound plugin
https://app.rechound.com/api/mcpSign in to RecHound and allow access
Turn it on in a chat
Ask your first question
In that chat, ask "Which accounts aren't reconciled for last month?"
Good to know
Developer mode is labelled by OpenAI as being for advanced users. RecHound is read-only, so ChatGPT can read your reconciliations but can't change anything.
To change which companies ChatGPT can see, or to disconnect it, go to Settings → AI Connections in RecHound. It's always read-only, and only sees companies you can see.
Prefer an API key? You can still create one in Settings → AI Connections and use it with tools that can't sign in. Keep it private: anyone with the key can read the companies it allows.
Troubleshooting
The sign-in page doesn't open
Check pop-ups aren't blocked, or copy the sign-in link your assistant shows into your browser.
"You don't have access to that company"
That company wasn't ticked when you allowed access, or your role there doesn't include it. Change the app's companies in Settings → AI Connections.
The assistant can't see RecHound any more
It may have been disconnected in Settings → AI Connections. Connect it again from your assistant and sign in.
"Couldn't confirm your company access with Xero"
Xero was slow to respond. Wait a minute and try again.
"Too many requests"
RecHound limits how many requests an assistant can make each minute. Wait a minute and ask again.
