SmartReceipt AI Bot
SmartReceipt AI Bot automates personal and small-business expense tracking. When a user sends a receipt photo or message via Telegram, the agent uses Google OCR (Tesseract) to extract text and OpenRouter AI to interpret and categorize expenses into structured data fields such as merchant, items, amount and category. It then sends a clear summary back to the user with totals and error alerts if needed. Ideal for freelancers, travelers, and finance teams who want hands-free expense logging
