Description

Hi all,I wanted a robust way to keep track of my receipts without needing to keep them in a box and so i found paperless - but the existing paperless ai projects didn't really convert my receipts to usable data.so I created a fork of nutlope's receipthero (actually it's a complete rewrite, the only thing that remains over is the system prompt) The goal of this project is to be a one stop shop for automatically detecting tagged docs and converting them to json using schema definitions - that includes invoices, .... i can't think of any others right now, maybe you can? If you do please make an issue for it! I would appreciate any feedback/issues thanks!(p.s i made sure its simple to setup with dockge/basic docker-compose.yml)repo: https://github.com/smashah/receipthero-ngtutorial: https://youtu.be/LNlUDtD3og0

Could you build this?

Yes It is a wrapper utility that ingests receipt images or PDFs, sends them to an LLM vision API for structured extraction, and pushes the data to the Paperless-ngx REST API.
