Receipt Folder To Expense Report Cowork
Drop 100+ mixed PDF and JPEG receipts into a Cowork playground folder and get back a flagged Excel expense report with date, vendor, category, amount, totals.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
You could definitely automate that. I'd suggest something like scanning the receipts with OCR software or manually uploading them to a tool that extracts the data. You'd probably want to organize them by category and date. There are a few different approaches—you could use Excel with formulas, a receipt scanning app, or even set up a Zapier workflow if you're comfortable with that. What format are your receipts in right now, JPEG or PDF? Do you need categorization or just a sum total? Once I know more about your requirements, I can suggest the best approach.
