About AI Expense
AI Expense is a receipt scanner and expense tracker that uses AI to process invoices and receipts. It captures documents via camera, photo library, or PDF upload, then extracts key fields such as merchant, amount, tax, date, and category. The tool maintains a connected workflow where source files, recognition results, and export history remain linked. Users can review extracted data, filter expenses by keyword or category, and generate CSV exports while keeping the original documents attached for auditing. The platform supports mailbox intake to bring email attachments into the same expense workflow. It provides spending insights with monthly, quarterly, and yearly breakdowns, and allows users to track expenses for reimbursement, tax preparation, or personal record-keeping. The tool is designed for both business and personal use, including freelancers, accountants, and households.
