The problem it solves

You collect paper and digital receipts all month, then have to sit down and type each one into a spreadsheet before you know where your money went. By the time you get around to it, you've lost track of your budget and some receipts are gone.

Who it fits

A small business owner or freelancer who wants expense tracking without manual data entry.

How it works

  1. You send a photo of a receipt through LINE
  2. AI reads the receipt and pulls out the date, store, amount, and category
  3. The system checks your spreadsheet to make sure that receipt hasn't already been logged
  4. The receipt image is saved to Google Drive and the expense is added to Google Sheets
  5. AI compares your spending to past months and sends you a quick note on how you're tracking against budget
What you get

Receipts that turn into a running total

Snap a photo of a receipt on LINE and AI logs the expense, saves the image, and keeps a running total of your spending.

What you get

An updated expense spreadsheet, a saved receipt image, and a short spending summary sent back to you.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Google Workspace account, and a LINE Developers account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
