Having booked 5 demo's, none actually happened. I had to pay to try it out. Within a few days i realised it added work rather than reduced work loads for Quickboks. I have cancelled but had to spend £100 just to find out how it worked. Dissapointing. I asked them to refund the payment and they have refussed

Unreliable Leadership and Surface-Level Sales
I have had a very frustrating experience attempting to vet Booke.ai for my practice. Despite the marketing promises of "Robotic AI," the human side of the business—specifically the leadership—is incredibly disorganized.
The CEO and owner, Vadim Chumak, personally canceled two scheduled demo meetings with me last minute. After I waited weeks for one of these slots, Vadim chose to cancel just hours before the meeting was set to begin. Instead of a proper walkthrough, I was sent a "recorded interactive demo video" that is less than 3 minutes long. The video is entirely surface-level and provides no more information than what is already available on their website, making it worthless for an accounting professional who needs to see how the system handles complex tasks like Job Costing, Class tracking, or Journal Entries.
If the owner of the company cannot be bothered to show up for a sales demo or provide a meaningful explanation of his software's capabilities, I have zero confidence in the support or reliability of the product itself.
I fully anticipate that Booke.ai will reply with a generic response claiming they have "taken steps" to improve their demo booking process, much like the boilerplate apologies they have issued to others dating back to 2024. Given that the owner personally handled—and subsequently canceled—my appointments at the last minute, I find these excuses to be entirely hollow. If the leadership is still blaming "scheduling issues" after years of similar complaints, it is clear that the lack of accountability is a fundamental feature of the company's culture, not a temporary glitch.
Avoid.

Jake, you predicted a boilerplate apology, and given the earlier demo complaints here, that's fair. The two cancellations happened and shouldn't have. We've since changed how demos are qualified and booked, but whether the process is actually better will be shown by what happens next, not by this reply.

No show - Demo
I scheduled a demo with them, but no one showed up. How can you rely on a company that doesn't bother to let you know that they can't make it to the demo?
Response from Booke AIMar 16, 2026
Hi Sarabjeet,
Thank you for your feedback.
We replied to your request promptly and shared a link to our recorded interactive demo of Booke.ai with QuickBooks Online. This demo is designed to give a clear overview of the product and allow users to explore the functionality at their own pace. In the same message, we also invited you to reach out to us with any questions or if you needed assistance with onboarding.
It seems there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the format of the demo, and we’re sorry if that wasn’t clear. If you have specific questions about your use case, we’d still be happy to help.

Unreliable and Unprofessional Experience
We attempted to schedule a demo with Booke AI over the course of two months—multiple times as a team and individually. Unfortunately, the experience was consistently disappointing. On several occasions, including our most recent attempt, the meeting was canceled just minutes after it began or right before it was scheduled to start, without any prior notice or follow-up communication.
Despite repeated efforts to confirm a suitable time or request alternative options, we received no response from the founder, Vadim, or the team. This lack of professionalism and accountability raises concerns about the company’s reliability and commitment to potential clients. Disappointing experience overall, especially for a product that shows promise but is poorly represented.
Response from Booke AIOct 13, 2025
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience trying to schedule a demo with our team. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we fully understand how frustrating this must have been.
Your feedback is very valuable to us - we’ve already reviewed our internal demo scheduling process to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Our goal is to make every interaction with Booke AI smooth, respectful, and efficient.
If you’re still open to connecting, please reach out directly at [email protected] - we’ll make sure your demo is arranged at your convenience.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Cancelled Appointments and zero communications
Tried to book a demo for a period of 2 months, booked and scheduled the demo 7 times as a group, and 3 times as individuals, Vadim (the owner) would cancel the demo zoom call last minute each time, never replied to any emails, when we requested info, or for the best time to meet. Very unprofessional, and disappointing that the owner has zero pride in his products.
Response from Booke AIApr 24, 2025
Hi Ilya,
Booke AI schedules live demos exclusively for verified accounting professionals because client data is shown during the call.
The email address you supplied ( @hubtruth.com ) could not be linked to any registered CPA, bookkeeping licence, or operating accounting firm.
Because the verification step was never completed, our system automatically declined each calendar request; no confirmed meetings were cancelled “last minute.”
Public records indicate that the hubtruth.com domain was registered only recently and contains no active business information, while your own LinkedIn profile lists a career in construction project management, not public accounting.
If you are a licensed practitioner and still wish to see the platform, please send one of the following to our support email address:
1. A business e-mail that resolves to an active accounting-firm website, or
2. Your state CPA licence or bookkeeping certification number.
Once we receive verifiable credentials we will book a demo at your convenience. Otherwise, we will ask the review host to remove content that misrepresents professional status, in line with their fraud-prevention policy.
— Vadim, Founder & CEO, Booke AI

3 demos booked, still haven't seen the product
I've booked 3 demos with this company and have still not had one. The first 2 times, the demo was cancelled 30min beforehand without explanation. On the 3rd attempt nobody arrived.
This product is great if you wake up one day and know exactly what it does, how to work it and whether it's the right fit for your business without ever being shown its functionalities.
Hopeless customer service / sales function.
Response from Booke AIOct 13, 2025
We sincerely apologize for the repeated inconvenience you’ve experienced while trying to book a demo with us. This is certainly not the experience we want anyone to have.
We’ve recently identified and addressed internal scheduling issues that affected some demo bookings, and we’re taking active steps to ensure they don’t happen again.
We’d really appreciate the chance to make this right - please contact us directly at [email protected]
, and we’ll arrange a personalized demo at a time that works best for you.
Thank you for your patience and for sharing your feedback - it helps us improve.

It's a nice idea, but this execution is completely useless.
I jumped straight in without an intro call as it looked like a great and fairly simple app.
Upon intregrating to Xero the AI book keeper decided to reconcile around 100 transactions without waiting for any input. Most of these were done incorrectly.
I sent multiple messages to the customer service team/person and received a single sentence as an answer around 7 days later. Not helpful. The app couldn't do what I needed, which is basic book keeping, it didn't seem to learn anything from us correctly reconciling transactions. It created new transactions even when there was an existing bill/invoice to match to a statement line on the bank. The OCR feature seemed quite 'dumb' too, it didn't learn anything when presented with a new bill from a supplier where we'd mapped the fields. All through this the customer support was incredibly slow and and not helpful at all, no real detail to the responses, no offer to do or fix anything. It's a nice idea, but this execution is completely useless.

Dear James,
Thank you for this detailed feedback. We're alarmed by the issues you've experienced and are taking immediate action:
1. Our lead developer will review your account to understand why the AI made incorrect reconciliations.
2. We're escalating your case to improve our learning algorithms and OCR functionality.
3. Our support team is being retrained to provide faster, more comprehensive assistance.
We'd like to offer you a one-on-one session with our head of product to address your specific needs and compensate you for the inconvenience.
Please contact me directly at [email protected] to arrange this and discuss how we can make this right.
Mike,
Head of Customer Success, Booke.ai

I booked a time for a demo with the team. The representative appeared to have been then founder of the company. The call was cancelled by the founder, and with no explanations. I can guess maybe its something to do with his schedule, but rather than cancelling with no reason or contact, maybe reach out and talk to potential leads and clients?
And if the team is so small that no support can be given for demos, maybe allow a trial period for those potential clients? That way I can assess the usefulness and accuracy of the claims of the product, and have faith in paying for it.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the cancellation and lack of communication. We're taking immediate steps to improve our demo process and customer outreach. Please contact us directly to reschedule your demo.
