The problem it solves

Every invoice that comes in means someone has to open it, read through the details, and figure out what matters, the vendor, the total, anything unusual, before anyone else on the team even sees it. That review work adds up fast when invoices arrive daily.

Who it fits

Finance teams, operations managers, or founders who process invoices regularly.

How it works

  1. Starts when someone uploads an invoice through a simple form
  2. Stores the file securely and pulls out the text and key data
  3. AI reads the extracted details and writes a plain-English summary
  4. Sends that summary as a direct message to the right person in Slack
What you get

Invoice details you don't have to dig up

You get a plain-English summary of every uploaded invoice sent straight to the right person in Slack, ready to check at a glance.

What you get

A Slack message summarizing each invoice's vendor, totals, and key line items.

What you need

AWS account with S3 and Textract access, a Google Gemini API key, and a Slack 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.
