Invoices slip away before they reach your books

Most invoices and receipts pass through your phone first, and that is exactly where they get lost.

Lost in the conversation

A supplier drops a PDF straight into a Telegram chat. A dozen messages later it has scrolled out of sight, and at month-end you are scrolling back through weeks of threads to find it.

Stuck in the camera roll

You photograph a paper receipt meaning to deal with it later. It sits between screenshots and holiday photos until the expense is too old to claim.

Closing the books becomes a search

With documents scattered across chats, photo galleries and downloads, every month-end turns into a scavenger hunt instead of a quick reconcile.

How it works

From message to filed invoice in three steps

  1. 1Step 1

    Connect Telegram from your dashboard

    Open Integrations → Telegram in your Gennai dashboard and click Connect. Scan the QR code or tap the link, and the Gennai bot opens in Telegram, linked instantly. There is no app to download.

    Send any invoice or receipt

    Forward a PDF invoice or take a photo of a paper receipt, right in your Telegram chat with the bot. Send them one by one or in a burst. The bot handles each on its own.

The original PDF or photo is stored with every invoice and attached automatically when you export to Xero, QuickBooks or Holded.

Built to make capture effortless

Every detail is designed so that sending the document is the only thing you have to do.

PDFs and photos, both

Send a formal PDF invoice or simply snap a photo of a paper receipt. The same AI reads either one, including HEIC photos straight from an iPhone camera.

It replies with the data

The bot confirms the supplier, amount and date right inside your chat, so you know an invoice landed without opening the dashboard.

Credits only for real invoices

Send something that isn't an invoice, or a document you've already submitted, and Gennai spends no credit. You only pay for invoices that count.

Replies in your language

The bot answers in English or Spanish, automatically matching the language set in your Telegram app.

Simple slash commands

Type /status to see your usage and credits, /help for instructions, or /disconnect to unlink, all without leaving the chat.

Connect with a single scan

No phone number to type and no app to install. Scan the QR code from your dashboard or tap the link, and your Telegram is linked to Gennai in seconds.

One inbox for every invoice

Telegram is one of several ways invoices reach Gennai. However they arrive, they are extracted, deduplicated and synced straight to the accounting and storage tools you already use.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Telegram to Gennai?

Open your Gennai dashboard, go to the Integrations tab and select Telegram, then click Connect. Scan the QR code with your phone or tap the link, and the Gennai bot opens in Telegram already linked to your account. From then on, just send your invoices and receipts to the bot.

Do I need anything besides Telegram?

No. Gennai works with any standard Telegram account on iPhone, Android, Desktop or Web. There is no Gennai app to install and no phone number to enter, you simply scan a QR code or tap a link.

What invoices and receipts can I send?

You can send PDF invoices up to 20 MB and photos of paper receipts or tickets in JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. Gennai's AI reads documents in over 100 languages, so the format and language of the invoice don't matter.

How do I know an invoice was processed?

The bot replies in the chat with the supplier, amount and date it extracted, along with a link to your dashboard. If a document isn't an invoice or is a duplicate, the bot tells you that too, so you always know what happened.

Does sending invoices use my plan credits?

Yes, each processed invoice uses one credit from your plan, exactly like an invoice captured from email. If you send something that isn't an invoice, or a document you've already submitted, Gennai automatically uses no credit.

Can I send invoices from Telegram on my computer?

Yes. Telegram keeps every device in sync, so you can forward invoices to the bot from Telegram Desktop or Telegram Web just as easily as from your phone. They all reach the same Gennai dashboard.

Is my data secure?

Gennai only processes the invoices and receipts you send to the bot. Nothing else in your chats is read. Every document is stored securely, every connection is logged for your audit trail, and you can disconnect at any time.

How do I disconnect Telegram?

You can disconnect from the Integrations tab in your dashboard, or by sending /disconnect to the bot. Either option stops processing immediately, and invoices already in your dashboard are not affected.
