# Aura AI Prompt Examples
Aura allows you to analyze financial data, generate reports, and perform actions using natural language. If you’re not sure where to start, the examples below show common ways to use Aura across different accounting and financial scenarios.
### Reconcile Cash Transactions with Aura
Use Aura to match invoices or bills against a cash transaction by following these steps:
1. Open a cash transaction in Rillet and start an Aura chat.
2. Upload a file with a breakdown of the invoices or bills covered by that payment, such as a bank remittance, spreadsheet, or PDF.
Aura identifies the matching records and reconciles them to the transaction.
