The problem it solves

Recording every bank alert, invoice, and payment email by hand is tedious and easy to fall behind on. You either let receipts pile up in your inbox or spend evenings manually copying numbers into a spreadsheet or notebook.

Who it fits

Freelancers, entrepreneurs, or small business owners tracking personal or business finances.

How it works

  1. Starts whenever a new email arrives from your bank or a biller
  2. AI reads the email and decides whether it's a payment, a charge, or an invoice
  3. It pulls out the amount, currency, and description
  4. It adds a new entry to your Notion finance tracker
  5. You get a summary notification confirming what was logged
What you get

Each transaction logged in under a minute

You get every bank alert and invoice email captured and logged straight into your Notion finance tracker, so your records always reflect your latest transactions.

What you get

A running log of transactions and invoices in your Notion finance tracker.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Notion account, and an AI provider 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.
