Ask the R&D Tax Incentive chatbot
The first chatbot built for the Australian R&D Tax Incentive.
Questions about the RDTI, answered in plain English — what the legislation treats as a core activity, what records the ATO expects, what happens in a review, and what changes from 1 July 2028. It explains the rules and names where they come from.
It will not tell you whether you qualify. Eligibility is fact-specific and is your adviser's call — the chatbot's job is to get you to that conversation already knowing the rules, with a structured brief your adviser can work from.

About this chatbot
- What is the Dossio R&D Tax Incentive chatbot?
- The first chatbot built specifically for the Australian R&D Tax Incentive. It answers questions in plain English — what the legislation treats as core versus supporting activities, what records the ATO expects, and how registration deadlines work. Free, no sign-up, currently in beta.
- Does the chatbot tell me whether I am eligible for the R&D Tax Incentive?
- No. It explains what the rules require and what evidence they call for, but it does not determine eligibility and does not give tax advice. Eligibility is fact-specific and is a call for a registered R&D tax adviser. The chatbot can produce a structured brief your adviser can work from.
- Is the R&D chatbot free to use?
- Yes. It is free, requires no account, and there is no charge for a conversation or for the brief it produces. Dossio's paid product is the compliance platform advisers and their clients use to capture R&D evidence as the work happens.
- How does the chatbot avoid giving unsafe tax answers?
- Every response is checked against Dossio's AI guardrail library (71 patterns), which blocks eligibility determinations, outcome promises and claim-size predictions before an answer is returned. Each AI call is logged with a full audit trail, and the AI can be disabled instantly.
- What can I ask it?
- Anything about how the Australian R&D Tax Incentive works — what counts as a core activity, what a contemporaneous record looks like, what happens in an ATO review, what changes from 1 July 2028, or which records to keep for software development work.
