The AI Receipt Scanner Built for Shared Expenses
Take a photo of any receipt — supermarket, restaurant, pharmacy, petrol station — and Groupio's AI scanner extracts every item in seconds, ready to split among your roommates.
No more manual entry, no more typos, no more arguments about who bought what. Point, scan, confirm.
Why Splitting Shared Receipts Is Painful
Every household runs into the same friction: one person pays for a big shared shop, then everyone needs to contribute their fair share. But manually entering 30 items from a receipt is tedious, error-prone, and nobody wants to do it.
Photos get forgotten in WhatsApp chats. Approximate amounts create disputes. People forget who paid for what by the end of the week. The result is either silent resentment or someone giving up and absorbing the cost.
An AI receipt scanner removes all of this friction. You photograph the receipt, the AI reads it, and you confirm. That's it.

How to Get the Best Results from AI Receipt Scanning
1. Photograph receipts immediately
Don't save receipts for later — they get lost, damaged, or forgotten. Scan immediately after purchase while the receipt is clean and easy to read.
2. Flatten before photographing
Fold lines and creases create shadows that confuse OCR. A quick flatten on a flat surface dramatically improves extraction accuracy.
3. Use good lighting
Thermal paper receipts are difficult to read under fluorescent lighting. Natural light or a well-lit space produces cleaner photos and better AI results.
4. Review low-confidence items
Groupio highlights any item the AI was uncertain about in yellow. Take five seconds to verify these before confirming — it prevents incorrect splits.
5. Set up Ollama for full privacy
If you prefer no data leaves your network, connect Groupio to a local Ollama instance. Scanning happens entirely on your own server — no cloud, no third parties.
Why Groupio's AI Receipt Scanner Is Different
Most receipt apps store your images, mine your spending data, or charge monthly for a feature that should be simple. Groupio's scanner is built on three principles: privacy by design, user control, and pay only for what you use.
BYOK — Bring Your Own Key
Connect your own OpenAI API key. You pay OpenAI directly at their published rates (a few cents per scan with GPT-4.1 mini). Groupio never touches your billing and your key is never visible in plain text.
AES-256-GCM encrypted key storage
Your API key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being saved. It is decrypted in memory only at the moment of use and cleared immediately after. No plain text, ever.
No receipt storage
Your receipt photo is processed and discarded. Groupio never builds a database of your purchases or shares your data with third parties.
Works with any receipt type
Supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, petrol stations, hardware stores — the vision model handles them all, in any language, printed or handwritten.
Local AI option with Ollama
Advanced users can connect Groupio to a locally-hosted Ollama instance. Everything stays on your network — no data leaves your devices.
Turn Any Receipt Into a Split Expense in 30 Seconds
Set up your AI key once and scan every shared receipt from that moment on. Free to use — you only pay OpenAI for the scans you actually run.
