The problem it solves

Manually typing up receipts after a business trip is tedious and easy to get wrong. Matching receipts to categories and adding up totals takes time you'd rather spend on real work.

Who it fits

Employees or finance teams handling travel expense reimbursements.

How it works

  1. Triggers when a receipt photo or file is uploaded in chat
  2. Runs the receipt through OCR to pull out the text
  3. AI reads the extracted text and organizes it into structured expense line items
  4. The assistant calculates totals and fills in any missing details
  5. A summary of the expenses is sent back in chat
What you get

Receipts that turn into a finished report

You photograph a receipt, chat with the assistant, and get an itemized expense report with totals ready to submit.

What you get

A structured expense summary with itemized costs and calculated totals.

What you need

A Supabase account, an AI model provider account, and an OCR service.

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.
