The problem it solves

Every invoice and receipt that comes in means typing details into a spreadsheet by hand, and it is easy to mistype a number or lose track of one entirely. Bookkeeping backs up fast when it all depends on someone finding time to enter it.

Who it fits

A small business owner or bookkeeper who processes invoices and receipts regularly.

How it works

  1. An invoice or receipt is sent in as an image or text
  2. AI reads the document, whether it is a scanned image or plain text
  3. AI extracts the vendor, amounts, line items, dates, and payment terms
  4. The system checks that the key fields were captured correctly
  5. The results are logged to Google Sheets for your records

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.
