Invoice Recognition

Corporate accountants process large volumes of input and output invoices every month, previously requiring manual entry of invoice numbers, dates, buyer/seller tax IDs, items, and amounts into systems while looking at paper documents — a time-consuming process prone to errors from repetitive work. Taiwan invoices come in triplicate, duplicate, electronic, and cash register formats, each with different layouts, and traditional OCR requires a separate template for each format.

With MaiAgent's multimodal AI assistant, simply upload an invoice image in the conversation and the AI automatically identifies the invoice type, extracts each field, and outputs structured JSON that can be directly integrated with ERP or accounting systems. Below is how to define the AI assistant as an "invoice receipt recognition API" using the system prompt.
