I built Temlavo because extracting invoice fields turned out to be only half of the problem because if an invoice is going into an automated workflow, getting some JSON back is not enough. The workflow also needs consistent structured data, practical checks, and a clear signal when something looks usable versus when it needs attention. I also didn't want Temlavo to become another all-in-one invoice or accounts-payable platform. The idea is much simpler instead: Temlavo should be one reliable piece of a business existing infrastructure. You keep your current systems, workflows, approval rules, and accounting software. Temlavo handles the part that is surprisingly annoying to build and maintain yourself: OCR, AI extraction, normalization into a consistent invoice schema, line items, totals and taxes, duplicate signals, consistency checks, and configurable review rules. The result is an explicit outcome such as completed/needs_review/failed, so the rest of the workflow can decide what happens next. You can integrate it through the TypeScript SDK/CLI, raw HTTP API, or n8n. There are no model keys, extraction prompts, or invoice templates to maintain. My goal is for teams building invoice-processing workflows to be able to treat extraction and review logic as infrastructure rather than another internal AI pipeline they have to own. There is a 100-page, 30-day free trial with no credit card required. I would especially like feedback from developers and automation consultants who have built invoice workflows before, what part of invoice extraction or review has caused you the most maintenance?

What part of invoice automation is still the most annoying to maintain?

I am launching Temlavo, an invoice extraction API, and I am especially interested in hearing from developers and automation consultants who have built invoice workflows. Is the painful part OCR, inconsistent layouts, line items, review logic, duplicates, downstream accounting integration or something else?
