Reading Bills and Statements Without AI, and the Money They Found

Part of gharasathi, a private household AI. Start here for all the series. Bank data tells you what left the account. It rarely tells you why. A direct debit to the childcare centre doesn't show the fee, the subsidy, or which days were absences. An energy debit doesn't show how many kilowatt-hours you used, or that the price changed on 1 July. That detail lives in PDFs attached to emails. This part covers how Hishob reads those documents, and why it deliberately doesn't use the LLM to do it.
