What you can do with it
- “Which invoices are still open, and for what amount?”
- “How many unbilled hours do I have on the Relaunch project?”
- “Which expense vouchers from October do we have from the supplier Müller?”
- “What exactly is on invoice RE-2026-041?”
- “Record 9 to 11 today on the Relaunch task.”
Papierkram is split into five areas that you can enable one by one: account, contacts, projects, invoices and expenses.
How to create an API token
- 01In Papierkram open the settings and the API area there.
- 02Create a token and give it a name you will recognise later, for example anymize.
- 03Copy the token.
Papierkram still marks its API as beta. It counts requests against a monthly quota of your package, and reading requests cost less than writing ones. Once the quota is used up, Papierkram accepts no more requests until the next month.
Connect
- 01In anymize open Apps, then Connectors, and choose Papierkram.
- 02Enter the address of your account, for example https://your-company.papierkram.de, and paste the API token.
- 03Decide which of the five areas the assistant may use.
What anymize reads
- Account: the users of your account with name, role and email.
- Contacts: companies, meaning customers and suppliers, with customer and supplier number, contact details, address, VAT ID and notes, plus the contact people of a company.
- Projects: projects with dates, budget and customer, the logged hours with duration and comment, filterable by billed, unbilled and billable, and the tasks of the time tracker.
- Invoices: outgoing invoices with number, date, due date, status, amounts and the outstanding rest, a single invoice with its line items, plus the estimates.
- Expenses: expense vouchers with number, date, status and amount, a single voucher with supplier and line items.
Each call returns at most 50 entries. For a long period the assistant pages through.
What anymize can create
- An entry in the time tracker: day, start and end time and comment, plus task and person. The assistant looks up task and person in Papierkram first instead of guessing them.
How it works: anymize proposes the entry, and the chat shows it to you as a card with every field in plain text. You check it, edit it if needed and click. Only then is anything written. This holds in every mode, Full access included, just as you send an email from Gmail once by hand.
What anymize does not do
anymize does not create invoices, vouchers or contacts and does not change or delete anything that exists.
Also deliberately left out: the PDF downloads, your account's bank connections and bank transactions, and your contacts' bank details. A question about open items does not need them.
Digital sovereignty and anonymization
Papierkram comes from Berlin. Your account sits with the vendor under its own address, and anymize talks only to the address you entered. The token is stored encrypted in your workspace.
Bookkeeping is full of business data. Customer names, contact people, postal addresses, email addresses and phone numbers are replaced by placeholders before an AI model gets to see them.
