Managing business expenses involves tracking spending, enforcing policies, and processing reimbursements—essential but time-consuming tasks. As businesses scale, manual expense management becomes increasingly inefficient, leading to delays, errors, and administrative overhead. AI automation can help streamline these processes, reducing effort while maintaining control and compliance.

One example is automating expense receipt processing. Instead of manually reviewing receipts, ensuring accuracy, and responding to employees, Thunk.AI can handle the entire workflow, while keeping you in the loop—from extracting receipt details to verifying policies and drafting responses. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with your expense management systems, forms, or databases, making it easy to incorporate into your existing workflows.

This sample thunk fully automates a version of expense receipt processing. In this sample, the AI follows three simple steps for all incoming receipts:

1️⃣ Reads receipts from images, PDFs, or documents – AI extracts key details like the amount, merchant, and date.
2️⃣ Checks company policies for compliance – AI verifies expenses against company policies and flags issues.
3️⃣ Drafts an email for review – AI generates a custom, template-based email for the employee, incorporating policy check results.

Thunk.AI was built to ensure that AI-powered automation works seamlessly in enterprise environments. Our approach is guided by CHARM—a set of core capabilities that make AI work for businesses:

✅ Compliance – AI enforces company policies automatically, ensuring every expense follows the correct approval process.
✅ Human Oversight – Keep humans in the loop where needed—review AI decisions, make adjustments, and maintain full control.
✅ Automation – Reduce manual effort and let AI handle repetitive tasks like data extraction, policy verification, and communication.
✅ Reliability – AI executes tasks consistently and accurately, reducing human error and ensuring expenses are processed on time.
✅ Modularity – Easily customize and extend your workflow—integrate with existing applications, tools, and refine AI behavior as needed.
