Extract vendor name, invoice number, line items, amounts, and tax from any invoice format directly into a shareable Google Sheet. No templates. No per-vendor setup.
Honestly, it's where people actually work. Not in some purpose-built AP tool that requires a three-week onboarding — in a Google Sheet that your manager can open on their phone between meetings.
I worked with a finance team that was downloading invoice PDFs, exporting them to CSV, cleaning up the mangled date columns, and then importing into Sheets. Every single week. For 30+ vendors. It was costing them half a day they didn't have.
When invoice data lands directly in Sheets — already structured, already in the right columns — that whole chain just disappears.
Here's the thing: most extraction tools fall apart the moment a vendor changes their invoice layout. Lido uses layout-agnostic AI to read the document the way a person would — finding the vendor name, invoice number, date, line items, subtotal, tax, and total regardless of where they happen to sit on the page.
The vision model writes that data directly into a Google Sheet. One row per line item, or one row per invoice — your call.
No templates. No training runs. No per-vendor configuration. Upload an invoice from a vendor you've never used before and it just works.
Email automation. Set up a dedicated inbox, forward invoices as they arrive, and Lido's extraction engine appends rows to your shared Sheet in real time. Your AP team stops doing manual uploads entirely.
Approval workflows. Add a "Status" column next to the extracted data, wire it up with Apps Script or a simple Google Form, and you've got a lightweight approval flow without buying more software. Last month we tested this with a 12-person ops team — they had it running in an afternoon.
Monthly reporting. Batch-upload everything at month-end. The AI behind this handles the whole stack — descriptions, quantities, amounts, taxes — and you end up with a clean Sheet that's pivot-table ready. Finance gets their vendor spend breakdown without anyone retyping a single number from a PDF.
Upload an invoice from any vendor. See structured data in Google Sheets in seconds.
