The workflow

1

Receive

Invoices and receipts arrive by email, upload, or storage bucket.

2

Extract

Call the endpoint to get vendor, totals, tax, and line items.

3

Reconcile

Totals are checked (subtotal + tax = total) before they hit your books.

4

Post

Create the ledger entry and flag low-confidence documents for review.

How the extraction works
  1. Read — the document is converted to text with OCR (for images) or parsed directly (for digital PDFs).
  2. Parse — deterministic rules pull out each field and line item and normalize dates and amounts.
  3. Check — the result is scored for confidence: totals are reconciled (subtotal + tax = total), required fields are verified, and formats are validated.
  4. Review — if confidence is below 100, the document is sent for a second pass by an AI model that re-checks only the uncertain fields. High-confidence results skip this step entirely.

Every response includes a confidence score and a needs_review flag, so you always know which results to trust and which to double-check.
