AI-powered receipt & invoice extraction for developers
Well Extract — Lightweight AI-powered invoice & receipt data extraction tool for developers. CLI-first, open source, and customizable. Run it locally, choose your AI model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama), and get structured JSON from any invoice.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We’ve been quietly building a set of open-source tools under the Well brand — lightweight AI utilities designed to slot straight into developers’ workflows.
Well Extract is our first launch. It does one thing well: turn messy invoices and receipts into structured data you can actually use.
Why we built it
Parsing invoices and receipts is boring. Existing APIs often lock you into a vendor, pricing model, or platform.
We wanted something open — a tool you can run locally, point at your docs, and get clean structured data out — ready for your pipeline.
No subscriptions. No lock-in. No black box.
What it does
📄 Takes invoice/receipt PDFs or images
🤖 Runs extraction using your choice of AI model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama)
🧱 Extracts to your own JSON spec — prompt the structure you need, get output your way
🔗 Pipes straight into your scripts, apps, or data stack
⚙️ Runs via CLI — fast, local, open-source
Who’s it for
🛠️ Developers building tools around invoices, receipts, accounting
📊 Data teams needing reliable extraction from documents
💻 Solo founders automating boring financial ops
🤓 Anyone who likes lightweight tools they can tweak and control
Why open source?
We believe developers should have the freedom to choose their stack — not be locked into expensive APIs.
This is the first “satellite” launch for Well — we’re aiming to ship more useful open AI tools soon.
We’d love your feedback
This is still a young project — we’d love to hear how you’d use it, what features you want, and what we should build next.
Star the repo, try it out, or just say hi here.
Thanks for checking out Well Extract! 🚀
