The problem it solves

Expense tracking means someone has to open every receipt and type the vendor, amount, and date into a spreadsheet or Airtable base. It's tedious, and receipts get lost or forgotten before anyone logs them.

Who it fits

A small business or bookkeeper tracking expenses and receipts.

How it works

  1. A receipt is submitted through a simple form
  2. The receipt image is sent to an AI extraction service
  3. The vendor, amount, and date are pulled out automatically
  4. The details are added as a new record in Airtable
What you get

Receipts logged without typing a single number

You submit a receipt, and its amount, vendor, and date get read and added straight into your Airtable automatically.

What you get

A new Airtable record for every receipt, with the key details already filled in.

What you need

An Airtable account and a Mindee API key.

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.
