Receipt AI | Manage Receipts with AI and SMS for Busy Traveling Teams

Receipt-AI is an AI-powered receipt management tool designed for businesses, finance teams, and individuals who need to capture, categorize, and upload receipts to accounting software (QuickBooks and Xero) from a mobile device. It emphasizes SMS-based receipt submission, fast processing, and seamless integration with popular accounting platforms to save time and improve accuracy.


How Receipt-AI Works
