Does Buildmacro integrate with accounting platforms?

What is machine learning?

Build Macro uses template-based machine learning.

 

“Machine learning” is when software learns from data and improves over time without being told exactly what to do. Template-based machine learning involves using pre-made rules or patterns to guide decisions.

 

Build Macro does not use “AI.” AI, as we often hear discussed today, is what is called “inference.” Inference is when software or a large language model (LLM) uses what it has learned to make a decision or prediction based on new data. Inference is more about making predictions from what the system has already learned without following fixed rules. Inference lacks the precision needed for a residential building software platform.
