What it does

This agent specializes in one high-stakes slice of the inbox: incoming invoices and bills. When an email arrives with an attachment, it reads the document, pulls out the vendor, amount, and payment due date, archives the file in Google Drive, and creates a Monday task dated to the actual pay-by deadline. You get a reliable payables queue built straight from email.

When to use it

Use it when bills arrive by email and late payments or missed terms are a real risk. Built for finance-adjacent operators and small-business owners who don't have full AP software.

How it works

  1. 1A new Gmail message with an attachment triggers the run.
  2. 2A filter checks that the email looks like an invoice or bill.
  3. 3OpenAI reads the attachment and extracts vendor, amount, and the payment due date.
  4. 4The attachment is uploaded to a dated folder in Google Drive for archival.
  5. 5A Monday task is created with the amount in the title and the pay-by date as the due date.
  6. 6A Slack message posts to the finance channel summarizing the new payable.
