How it works

Your business already has the information.
Leiko puts it to work.

The email, the client, the receipt and the invoice belong to the same working day. Leiko connects the relevant context and prepares what happens next.

How Leiko works · At a glanceUpdated October 20, 2026

Leiko connects your Gmail, Google Calendar, clients, receipts, tasks and invoices into one working context. It prepares reply drafts, expense allocations and invoice drafts automatically, keeps open matters in view between conversations and waits for your approval before anything is sent.

Step 02

Let Leiko prepare the next step

Ask for an invoice. Review a reply. Pick up a task that came from a client’s email. Leiko uses the relevant details to prepare work you can inspect.

Step 03

Review the work that goes out

When an email or invoice is ready, you decide whether to send it. You can check the recipient, review the details and make changes first.

03 Continuity

Keep the unfinished work in view

Some work needs another pass tomorrow. Leiko keeps track of open matters and brings them back when there is a next step to consider.

A client email can name a deadline. Later, Leiko can bring that open matter back with its source. The reply stays awaiting review until you approve it. A draft is not a completed task.
