Camera receipt app → Drive inbox → Grok Bot OCR routes folders
Job-site receipts pile up. Non-technical builders need a camera-first handoff, not a blank IDE.
What hurt
BobBastiat (@IknowRobert), a plumber/contractor, builds by stating the goal, fighting mission creep, then clearing context and asking for break/edge/security tests. His weekend receipt router: camera + job/cost-code fields + receipt/other toggle → titled PDF → Drive inbox → Grok Bot OCR routes to the right folder. Tip only — no invented prompt.

What to install or create
Phone captures. Drive is the inbox. Bot only OCRs and files. Clear context, then adversarial test.
Bots
Receipt router
OCR PDFs from Drive inbox; file by job/cost code. Stops if unsure.
Plugins
Browser
Optional
Files
Drive inbox folder + destination folders keyed by job/cost code.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/IknowRobert/status/2102510943284683248.
- 2Build or reuse a camera capture that saves a titled PDF to a Drive inbox (job + cost code fields).
- 3Point a Grok Bot at that inbox: OCR, then route to the matching folder. Approval before moves.
- 4After it works once, clear context and ask the bot to break it / edge-case / security-test before widening.
Approval fence
No Drive moves or deletes without your yes. Start with a test inbox folder.
What to tweak
Steal camera→Drive→OCR route plus build-then-break. Keep the bot off the shutter button.
