Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Andrei. I built Receiptist to solve a personal frustration: Expense tracking apps have too much friction.
My wife and I tried everything—apps, spreadsheets, bank exports—but the routine always fell apart. The apps were too rigid , and manual entry was just too tedious. We’d start strong, then give up.
The Idea: I realized that if AI is smart enough to identify food for diet tracking, it should easily handle a crumpled receipt. We shouldn't be typing numbers manually in 2025.
So I built Receiptist - a Telegram bot that removes the friction entirely.
How it solves the pain points:
📸 Zero Data Entry: Just snap a photo. The AI parses the merchant, date, and line items instantly.
📊 Visual Budgeting: We use horizontal progress bars (Green/Yellow/Red) so you see your status at a glance—no digging for numbers.
👥 Real Collaboration: It works in group chats, so couples can track shared expenses together effortlessly.
💬 Natural Conversation: Just ask, "How much is left for Groceries?"
It’s simple, fast, and lives inside the app you already use.
I’d love for you to try it and let me know if the "Visual Bars" help you stay on track better than a spreadsheet!
And don't forget the receipt. 🧾

@naider Andrei, building it inside Telegram for easy collaboration is a smart approach. Does the shared account feature also let couples set individual spending limits or separate categories?

@olajiggy321 thanks Agbaje Well, from product prospective currently if you have shared budget, it's only one budget for all members of the "household". There is undocumented possibility though to switch the context between personal and household ("/set_context") command. Anticipated some possible use-cases but was not sure it's too common, so it's hidden for now for simplicity.

@naider Thanks for explaining—the hidden /set_context feature is a smart way to keep it simple but flexible.
I have a small idea related to improving how those budget contexts are handled that you could try on your own.
If you're open to a suggestion, what's the best way to share it?
