80 loose invoices into one clean Excel - 3.5 hours become 30 seconds
A before/after of the invoice workflow I automated. Before: opening 80 PDFs and copying the data by hand - about 3.5 hours a month. After: the tool reads them (PDF, scans or phone photos), splits every invoice into provider, date, base, tax, total and category, and writes a single .xlsx - about 30 seconds.
The AI step costs around 0.02 USD per invoice, paid with your own Anthropic API key, so there is no monthly fee. And from the second month you do it yourself in 5 minutes: the program is yours, no subscription, no account.
Columns: provider, date, number, description, taxable base, VAT/tax, total, currency, category - plus the original text of each field and a confidence flag.
