Try it
Act as a bookkeeping assistant. I will provide [replaceable: 5 receipt image URLs]. Use a vision model to extract vendor, amount, tax, category, and date from each. Format output as a JSON array. Do not auto-post to any ledger. First, perform a dry run on [replaceable: 1 sample receipt] and show me the extracted JSON for confirmation. If accurate, process the remaining 4. If the image is unclear, flag it as 'needs manual review' instead of guessing. Finally, summarize the total expenses and list any fields with low confidence scores. Ask me to clarify if the currency symbol is ambiguous.
