The problem it solves

Typing invoice numbers, amounts, and dates into a spreadsheet by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. You or your bookkeeper end up buried in paper or PDF invoices at the end of every month. You want invoices logged the moment they come in, not days later.

Who it fits

Best for freelancers, small business owners, or accounting teams who receive invoices as photos.

How it works

  1. You send a photo of an invoice to a chat bot
  2. The image is read using optical character recognition
  3. AI pulls out the invoice number, dates, vendor, and totals
  4. The details are added as a new row in Google Sheets
  5. You get a confirmation message that it was logged

What you get

A new row in your Google Sheets invoice ledger with the key details filled in automatically.

What you need

A LINE Messaging API account, an OCR.space API key, a Google Gemini API key, and a Google 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.
