Using Jev to spot email receipts and automate bookkeeping
Jev checks new emails every 15 minutes to decide whether they are receipts or invoices, then hands them to a bookkeeping agent that triages them and creates payment requests, with the books run weekly in Claude Code.
Okay, Jev was the missing piece to automate my bookkeeping. Here's the setup: 1. Every 15 min, Jev reads new emails and asks: "is this a receipt or invoice?" if yes, they are forwarded to my agent's email. Shoutout to @linuz90 for the idea. 2. My Accountant @bot triages the agent inbox, queues receipts, and asks me if unsure. For invoices to pay, it creates a payment request in my bank to approve. For paper receipts, I send it a a photo. 3. My bank syncs every transaction to my e-conomic accounting system. 4. Then once a week, I "run the books" in Claude code. It opens e-conomic in the browser, uploads the receipts to each transaction, assigns VAT and account codes, and clears the queue of receipts. I could fully automate this last part but I'm still warming up to the idea of going full yolo mode and giving my agents 1password access
