Unlimited conversions. Zero data entry.

Everything we've shipped.

From a PDF converter in January 2025 to a full AI native general ledger today. The story of Zera Books, in shipping order.

The arc

The journey, honestly.

We started in January 2025 as ConvertMyStatements. One product, one promise. Turn a PDF bank statement into something usable. Customers kept asking for more. So we kept building.

Fifteen months later, the converter is still here, still free of templates, still 99.6% accurate. But it's now part of something bigger. In April 2026 we became Zera Books, an AI native general ledger. Bank statements come in, journal entries come out, reports build themselves, the books close.

Below is everything we've shipped, in the order it actually shipped. No version numbers. No fluff. Just the milestones.
