 "page_title": "How to turn receipt photos into searchable table records with Kition",
 "summary": "Drop receipt images into an attachment field and let vision-powered fields fill in vendor, category, and text.",
 "who": "A freelancer, small business owner, or household admin who keeps a pile of receipt photos for expense tracking.",
 "problem": "Typing receipt details by hand takes time, and photos in a folder cannot be filtered or summarized.",
 "outcome": "A table where each receipt row holds its image, vendor, address, category, structured JSON, and OCR text, ready to filter and summarize.",
 "steps": [
  "Download and install the Kition desktop build from GitHub Releases.",
  "Create a table file with an attachment field and AI fields for vendor, address, category, structured JSON, and OCR text.",
  "Drop the receipt photos into the attachment field, one receipt per row.",
  "Check the extracted values in each row and correct any mistakes.",
  "Use table filters or ask the Agent to summarize the corrected rows."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Kition desktop app, open the table <table name> that has receipt attachments and AI extraction fields. Ask the Agent to total the category values for the rows marked <month>, and check that each total matches the corrected rows before you use it.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",

 "caveat": "The README describes vision-powered fields but does not name the model providers or accuracy, so verify extracted values before relying on them.",

  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A macOS, Windows, or Linux (experimental x86_64) computer to install the desktop app from GitHub Releases",
  "A model or account setup inside Kition for the Agent and AI fields (the README mentions model and account settings but does not detail the providers)",
  "For source builds only: Node.js 22.19.0, pnpm 10.33.0, Rust (stable), and the Tauri system prerequisites for your platform",
  "Back up important workspaces before relying on the beta app"
