01 · Read the source
Start with the finance material that actually arrived
Work from supported invoices, receipts, statements, reports, scans, screenshots, images, or PDFs while keeping the original available for comparison.
Invoices, receipts, statements, scans, and reports often need preparation before anyone can use them. Think-Act helps extract, organize, summarize, and draft from supplied finance context while financial judgment stays with the people responsible for it.
Available for Windows and macOS.

Finance document review
Think-Act can turn supplied finance documents into organized, reviewable material before someone approves, records, posts, pays, reconciles, or otherwise acts on it.
Preparation stays separate from approval
Financial judgments, approvals, accounting treatment, payment decisions, and system-of-record changes remain with the people and processes responsible for them.
01 · Read the source
Work from supported invoices, receipts, statements, reports, scans, screenshots, images, or PDFs while keeping the original available for comparison.
02 · Prepare the review
Extract useful text or fields, organize values into working tables, summarize supplied reports, and prepare finance notes without treating the prepared result as the authoritative source.
03 · Review the handoff
Review amounts, dates, identifiers, source ambiguity, wording, and other consequential details before the result is shared, copied into another system, or used in a finance process.
For writing-focused finance notes, follow-ups, and summaries, see the Writing Assistant.

Ready for next step
OCR and document preparation can remove manual retyping, but a clean-looking extraction should not hide uncertainty in the original. When an amount, date, reference, vendor detail, or other value matters downstream, keep the source available for comparison.
Supported scans, images, screenshots, receipts, invoices, forms, and image-based PDFs can become working text or structured information for the next review step.
Organize supplied or extracted information into a reviewable structure first. After review, move it manually or use an appropriate configured capability where one is supported and genuinely required.
Totals, dates, references, account identifiers, tax-related values, or other details that could affect downstream work should be checked against the original document.
For the broader extraction workflow, supported document types, and source-review guidance, see OCR & Document Intelligence.
Think-Act can work from reports, figures, notes, and explanations you supply. The useful result is a clearer working draft that finance can correct, qualify, and approve through its normal process.
Report preparation

Report context → reviewable draft
Human review stays visibleKeep the supplied report available while checking figures, wording, assumptions, missing context, and any conclusion another person may rely on.
Missing-document follow-up
Prepare a clear request for a missing receipt, invoice, supporting document, explanation, or other known requirement. Review the recipient, wording, and source facts before sending.
Spreadsheet preparation
Organize reviewed information into a table that can be checked before it moves into a spreadsheet. Do not assume direct spreadsheet writing or a specific spreadsheet integration is built in.
Generated finance writing
Treat summaries, explanations, and finance notes as drafts. Check figures, qualifiers, terminology, source coverage, and conclusions before relying on them.

Reusable finance method
Repeated finance work often follows a method worth preserving: which material to begin with, what to extract or prepare, which checks matter, how the result should look, and where a person needs to review it.
Preserve the procedure
Turn reviewed invoice checks, reporting formats, month-end steps, or recurring reviews into reusable guidance.
Separate guidance from access
Reusable instructions do not create credentials, account access, payment capability, connections, or financial permissions.
Review before reuse
Correct assumptions, confirm sources, and show where financial judgment or authorization returns to the appropriate person.
Skills preserve instructions; configured external capabilities solve separate access needs. See Skills & Integrations for the distinction.
Keep a clean boundary between working material Think-Act can prepare and decisions that belong to your existing controls, responsibilities, and systems.
Think-Act prepares
Finance teams decide
External action is a separate capability
If a reviewed result needs to reach another system, use an appropriate configured capability where supported. Without one, prepare the result for manual use. Do not assume direct spreadsheet, accounting, banking, payment, or finance-system access is built in.
Finance documents can contain sensitive business information. Keep the working set and external access no broader than the task requires, and understand which configured services become part of the data path.
Use models, endpoints, storage, sharing practices, and other services approved for the finance information involved.
Connectors, model endpoints, runtimes, accounts, and other services bring their own behavior and data-handling rules.
Do not widen a workflow to another account, connector, folder, service, or dataset simply because it is available.
Do not infer guaranteed privacy, retention, residency, offline processing, or regulatory compliance from desktop use alone.
For broader permission, external-trust, data-flow, sensitive-information, approval, activity-review, and recovery guidance, see Security & Controls.
Start with familiar material and a result whose quality you can judge yourself. Widen the workflow only after the simpler version proves useful.
Good first finance tasks
Easy to verifyIf you want a broader view of Think-Act before building a finance workflow, review the feature directory. For current Free, Pro, or Business differences, use the plan comparison.
Choose source
Pick one invoice, receipt, report, scan, screenshot, or existing finance procedure whose important details you know how to check.
Prepare draft
Extract information, prepare a table, summarize supplied context, draft a follow-up, or turn an existing procedure into a checklist.
Structured finance work
Extracted fields, a working table, or a checklist built from supplied material.
Reviewable working copy
A focused summary, variance note, or follow-up draft ready to check.
Compare
Correct the working draft and leave unclear information unresolved until the source or the appropriate reviewer can settle it.
Use result
Move it manually, reuse it as context, or use an appropriate configured capability where a supported external action is genuinely required.
Reuse if useful
Turn the reviewed instructions, checks, and expected format into reusable guidance while keeping financial decisions with the appropriate people.

No. Think-Act prepares working material; it does not replace your accounting system or finance controls. It can help with extracted text, structured information, summaries, drafts, tables, and checklists. Posting, payment, accounting treatment, approvals, reconciliation decisions, and other financial judgments remain inside your finance process. The Desktop Agent page explains this broader prepare-and-review model.
Yes. Think-Act OCR and Document Intelligence can work with supported scans, screenshots, images, receipts, invoices, forms, and image-based PDFs. It can prepare usable text and supported document information such as vendor details, dates, totals, references, and other fields where the workflow supports them. Treat the result as a draft until important information has been checked against the source. See OCR & Document Intelligence.
No. Many finance tasks can begin from documents and context you supply directly. Add an external capability only when the next step genuinely needs access to another supported system and that capability is actually configured, available, trusted where required, and permitted. The Skills & Integrations page explains how external reach stays separate from reusable guidance.
Do not assume direct spreadsheet or finance-system writing is built in. Think-Act can prepare reviewed information for manual transfer. An external write requires an appropriate configured capability where supported, together with the permissions and review appropriate to that action. Review Skills & Integrations before designing around a specific external system.
Yes. From supplied context, Think-Act can prepare report summaries, finance notes, missing-document requests, explanations, and other working drafts. The result should remain reviewable against the report, figures, or source facts you supplied. Generated wording does not make a financial conclusion authoritative. See the Writing Assistant for writing-focused workflows.
Use models, endpoints, connectors, storage, accounts, and sharing practices approved for the information involved. Desktop use does not by itself define the complete data path. Follow your organization's policy, avoid unnecessary access, and review Security & Controls before processing sensitive material or widening the workflow.
Yes. Think-Act has desktop versions for Windows and macOS and can be installed and tried before you expand into a larger finance workflow. Check the downloads page for current installers and requirements, or compare plans if your document volume or team needs grow.
Let Think-Act prepare the working draft, keep the source beside the result, and compare the important details before the work becomes part of the next finance step.
