We Launched 3 Times to Get 1 Product Right

Share this article:

Third Time. Right Time.

We launched Receipt-AI twice. We learned twice. Now we are shipping what we should have shipped on day one.


The operating system: find the pain, ship fast, then rebuild for scale.


V1: Find the Pain

  • People hate expense reports. That was obvious in week one.
  • Manual uploads waste time. Context switching kills momentum.
  • Signal was strong enough to keep going.

V2: Speed Beats Perfection

  • We shipped fast. Users got value quickly.
  • Onboarding was rough. Accuracy needed work.
  • Speed revealed the truth about the edge cases that matter.

V3: Build It Right

We rebuilt the core. Fewer clicks. Less friction. Better outcomes.

  • Automate expense reporting so your team can focus on real work.
  • Save hours every month without hiring or new overhead.
  • Painless tracking that feels simple and stays accurate.

How It Works

  1. Text a receipt photo to Receipt-AI.
  2. AI reads, extracts, and categorizes.
  3. Your report is ready. You move on.

The Playbook We Follow

  • Pick the biggest pain you can prove in days, not months.
  • Ship the fastest version that solves it.
  • Refactor for accuracy and scale after you have pull from users.

We are not chasing shiny tactics. We are repeating what works.

Volume and consistency win. Boring is profitable.

🚀 We launch September 2 on Product Hunt.
