Building Receipt-AI: Finding What Truly Matters

When we started building Receipt-AI, we asked ourselves a simple but uncomfortable question:

“If we had to remove every feature except ONE, what would we keep?”


That forced us to confront what users truly value. Then we flipped it:

“If we removed a feature and nothing changed… why keep it at all?”


We began asking real users the same thing – over 100 conversations later, the pattern was clear. Some features were nice-to-have. Others were mission critical.

That’s how we ended up focusing Receipt-AI on what our customers care about most –

  • Text a receipt using SMS
  • AI extracts every detail instantly
  • Sync with accounting – done

Everything else is noise.
