The problem it solves

You or your team spend time typing invoice details into spreadsheets by hand, and a mistyped number or missed line item can throw off your books. Digging through PDFs to find the supplier, amount, and due date slows down every accounts payable task.

Who it fits

Small business owners and accounting or finance teams who process supplier invoices regularly.

How it works

  1. A new invoice PDF is added to a shared drive folder
  2. The document is converted into readable text
  3. AI reads the text and pulls out supplier, amount, and date
  4. The extracted details are added to a spreadsheet automatically

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.
