Receipts, photos, and albums

Send a photo or a file to the bot to create a transaction with that file attached.

• Supported files: JPEG, PNG, WebP, and PDF.
• Each file can be up to 8 MB; a transaction can have up to 5 attachments.
• Word, CSV, Excel, OFX / QFX, QIF, JSON, and HTML files, and PDF bank statements, are read too: one receipt becomes a draft card, and a list of transactions becomes one card that imports them all on Confirm. Up to 5 files sent together become one import. See Files and bulk import.

With an amount in the caption (instant, no AI)

Add a caption in quick add format, for example -350 groceries or 20.08 -350 groceries. The transaction is created immediately with the file attached. No AI is used and no AI quota is spent.

Without an amount (AI draft)

Send a JPEG or PNG photo with no caption, or with a caption that is just a hint (e.g. dinner with friends):

1. The bot replies Reading receipt… and AI vision extracts the total, the date if clearly visible, a short note (merchant or place), and up to three suggested tags, which are matched to your existing tags.
2. You get a draft card with ✅ Confirm, ✏️ Edit amount, and Cancel.
3. On Confirm the transaction is saved with the photo attached.

If the AI can’t find a clear total (for example a photo of food), it asks you to send the amount like -350, or choose −100, −500, Other, or Cancel.

A PDF without an amount is read by its text (a scanned PDF by its first page) and gets the same draft card, or a bulk import card when it’s a statement.

The bot falls back to the same amount buttons, without AI, when:

• the file is a WebP photo (AI photo reading works on JPEG and PNG only);
• your daily AI limit is used up;
• the AI couldn’t read the receipt.

A successful AI read counts as one AI assist.

Albums (several photos at once)

When you send several photos as one album, the bot waits a few seconds to collect them and asks: Got N photos. Is this one receipt, separate receipts, or screenshots of a transaction list?

• One transaction — all photos (up to 5) are attached to a single transaction. If the album caption has an amount, it is saved immediately; otherwise AI reads the best photo and shows a draft.
• Separate — each photo is processed as its own receipt, one after another (Processing 1 of N…). A photo the bot can’t download is skipped with a message naming it (Photo 2 couldn’t be read and was skipped…), and the next one is processed.
• 📋 Transaction list — the photos are screenshots of your bank app’s history (up to 10). They are read together in one AI assist and become one bulk import; rows shown on two overlapping screenshots are kept once. A caption like statement or виписка picks this right away, without the question.

Pending receipts and drafts expire after about 15 minutes; send the photo again if a card says it is outdated.
