Who it is for

Agency owners and consultants who get invoices and receipts by email. At month end, someone retypes every number into a spreadsheet by hand.

What it does

Documents that land in your inbox get read by AI: vendor, amount, date, line items. The data files itself into your sheet or system, in the right category, with the original attached. Month end stops being a dig through old email.

What is Invoice and Document Extractor?

An invoice and document extractor is an automation that reads the invoices and receipts landing in your inbox and files the numbers for you, instead of someone retyping them. Documents that arrive by email are read by AI, which pulls the vendor, amount, date, and line items, then files the data into your sheet or system correctly categorized. It is built for bookkeepers, finance teams, and owners who receive paperwork by email and lose time keying it in, where every manual entry is a chance to fat-finger a number. Automation needs clean, structured data, and a person copying figures between tools is both the slowest link and the least reliable one. Removing that step is often the cheapest way to prove the rest of your stack can move information without a human in the middle. Otomations builds it on your existing inbox and books.

Common questions

What kinds of documents can it read?

Invoices and receipts that arrive by email. It pulls the vendor, amount, date, and line items and categorizes the entry the way your books are already organized.

What does it run on?

It is built on the tools you already use: your inbox, calendar, CRM, and spreadsheets, with Claude for the reasoning. There is nothing new for your team to learn and nothing to rip out.

The full library

One call. One map. You decide.

The Workflow Map call is free and takes 30 minutes. You leave with a one-page map of where your leads, proposals, or bookings fall through, and what I would build first. If I cannot find one thing burning your time, I will tell you that too.
