The problem it solves

Chasing down rental invoices scattered across your inbox and typing the numbers into a spreadsheet by hand eats up time you don't have. It's easy to miss one, log a number wrong, or enter the same invoice twice.

Who it fits

A landlord, property manager, or small business that receives recurring rental invoices by email.

How it works

An invoice email arrives and is labeled in Gmail
On a set schedule, the system checks for new invoice emails
It converts the attached invoice to text and reads it with AI
It pulls out the landlord, tenant, property, and amounts
It logs a new row in your spreadsheet and emails you a confirmation

What it is worth to you

Your numbers, your hourly cost. We add nothing hidden.

Assumes the freed hours are put toward other work and that invoice volume and formats stay consistent with today.

What you get

A running spreadsheet log of every processed invoice, with duplicates automatically caught.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, an Ainoflow account, and an OpenRouter or OpenAI 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.
