Frequently asked questions

Does Renaska replace Alegra?

No. Renaska doesn't issue DIAN e-invoices on its own — it integrates with your Alegra or Siigo account for that. What Renaska adds is the AI agent that sells in your chat channels and the operational management (inventory, orders, customers) around that sale.

Can I use Alegra and Renaska at the same time?

Yes — that's the intended use. Renaska manages the sale and the operation; Alegra or Siigo issue the DIAN e-invoice from your own account.

Does Alegra's AI Agent sell on WhatsApp like Renaska's does?

Not in the same way. Alegra's AI Agent creates leads and classifies customer intent, but a human carries the sales conversation. Renaska's agent carries the entire conversation: it quotes, handles objections and closes the sale with no human needed in the standard flow.

What does it mean that Alegra MCP is "read-only"?

It means AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT can query your accounting data in Alegra, but can't create, modify or delete anything — that's how Alegra's own documentation describes it. Renaska's MCP does execute actions: checking pricing, recommending a plan and creating an account.
