The Command Interface reimagines how people work with complex financial systems. Instead of navigating menus or filling out forms, users can simply type natural commands or questions directly into the product. The interface interprets intent, validates data, and carries out multi-step actions across Light’s modules with precision.
Light Command Interface
Two modes, one seamless experience.
The Command Interface operates in two main modes. The first is a compact bottom bar for quick interactions—ideal for short commands like “show all unpaid invoices” or “update the account code to start with 2.” The second is an expanded view that appears when deeper context is needed. This larger space supports longer conversations with the AI, enabling users to generate reports, create charts, or even build complete pages and documents.
Always available, never intrusive.
My goal was to design a tool that feels ever-present yet unobtrusive. It should be ready whenever needed but fade into the background when not in use. The interface integrates naturally within the workspace, offering help without breaking focus. This sense of quiet presence was central to making it feel both dependable and effortless.
A new way to work with Light.
The Command Interface blends the precision of a command line with the ease of natural conversation. It introduces a faster, more confident way to work with data and automation inside Light, empowering both finance professionals and non-technical users to act efficiently and with clarity.
