Automate expense capture from text, voice, and receipts in Telegram— categorize, convert, and log in Sheets.
The AI agent ingests Telegram inputs (text, voice, and receipt images) and routes them to processing modules for data extraction. It normalizes items, converts currencies to USD, assigns categories with emojis, and stores all expense records in Google Sheets with automatic totals. It also generates spending summaries, alerts when thresholds are reached, and delivers actionable insights.
End-to-end processing of multimodal inputs to structured expense records.

A simple 3-step flow you can follow.
Telegram Bot API captures text messages, voice notes, and receipt images and forwards them to the AI agent for processing.
The AI agent uses OCR and LLMs to extract data, determine whether the input is an expense or a query, and prepare records.
Converts currencies to USD, assigns categories with emojis, stores records in Google Sheets, and generates summaries and alerts.
A realistic Telegram-based expense entry scenario.
Scenario: A user sends a receipt image for a 12.99 USD lunch and a 18.00 EUR taxi via Telegram. The AI agent extracts the amounts, converts 18.00 EUR to USD (approx. 19.50), creates two records (Lunch - $12.99, Transport - $19.50), assigns categories with emojis, and logs them into Google Sheets. Within minutes, the user can view a daily total and a brief spending summary in Telegram.

Practical scenarios where the AI agent adds value.
Common questions and practical details.
The AI agent supports text messages, voice notes, and receipt images sent through Telegram. Text is parsed directly, voice is transcribed via a speech-to-text engine, and receipts are analyzed with OCR to extract amounts, dates, and vendor details. The system then consolidates all data into structured expense records. If an input cannot be parsed, the agent prompts for clarification or flags the item for manual follow-up.
Yes. The AI agent detects currencies in each entry and converts them to USD using a configured exchange rate API. It then records the converted amount in the Google Sheet. Exchange rates are refreshed regularly to maintain accuracy. If a rate is unavailable, a fallback message is generated and the user is prompted to confirm the amount.
All expense data are stored in Google Sheets linked to the AI agent’s workspace. Access depends on your Google account permissions and the Telegram bot configuration. The agent logs each action for traceability and can provide summaries on request. You can configure share settings to restrict access to authorized users only.
Categories are defined in the system prompt and can be modified in the agent’s configuration. You can replace or add categories, along with emojis, to fit your budgeting needs. The AI agent uses these categories when classifying expenses. Changes apply to new entries and retroactive re-categorization can be scheduled if needed.
The AI agent supports manual review where you can reclassify an entry and adjust details in the Google Sheet. It logs the correction for auditing and can re-run downstream calculations (totals, alerts) after reclassification. You can set confidence thresholds to trigger automatic reclassification or prompts for human review.
You need a Telegram Bot API key, access to OpenAI or Gemini, ElevenLabs for voice, Google Sheets API access, and an exchange rate API. The agent should be added to your Telegram workspace with appropriate permissions. After configuration, you can start sending inputs to the bot and monitor results in Google Sheets. Regular maintenance includes updating API credentials and category lists as needed.
Security is handled by standard API authentication and access controls. Secrets are stored via secure key management, and access to Google Sheets is restricted to authorized accounts. Telegram bot tokens and API keys are kept confidential and rotated periodically. You also have visibility into data flows and can disable data sharing at any time.
