AI receipt reading

One photo, one line in the books

Snap a receipt or tax invoice and the AI reads the seller, tax ID, date, items and VAT into the books. The photo stays attached, so the original is always one tap away.

  • Many at once, or just send them on LINE
  • Non-claimable papers and missing details flagged in colour
  • Categories you correct are learned for next time

  • Answers in numbers from your books and calendar
  • Drag in receipts and contracts
  • Ctrl+K on a PC, the button at the bottom right on a phone

  • Each owner and staff member in their own language
  • Ask on LINE, like 'summary' or 'what to pay', and it answers
  • Ask the AI assistant inside the app too
