What they did

A poker player who built BinkBook, an app that turns photos of tournament receipts into a dashboard, says Grok Bot now does the job better. He snaps a photo of a receipt and Grok Bot saves it to Google Drive, pulls out the casino, date, game type and buy-in, and logs it in a Google Sheet. His post includes a six-minute video of the setup.

When I send you a photo of a [receipt type: e.g. poker tournament receipt], save the photo to my Google Drive folder [folder name], read the [venue], [date], [event type] and [amount], and add a row to my Google Sheet [sheet name].
