How are you automating invoicing & inventory for small businesses using AI?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI can reduce repetitive manual work for small businesses and freelancers—especially around invoicing and inventory management. @INVBot

From conversations with local shop owners and freelancers, many are still relying on:

• Paper bills or handwritten invoices

• Manual data entry for invoices

• Excel or basic spreadsheets for stock tracking

This made me curious 👇
How are others tackling this problem today?

While exploring this space myself, I’ve been experimenting with ideas like:

• Using AI to scan handwritten or printed invoices

• Automatically generating clean, professional invoices

• Updating inventory in the background without manual stock entry

But I’d really like to learn from the community here:

• Are you currently using any tools to automate billing or inventory?

• What’s the most frustrating or time-consuming part of this workflow?

• Do you prefer mobile-first solutions or web dashboards for managing business operations?
