What you will make
A trained invoice-pilot Bot that turns a batch of emailed invoices into a human-reviewed extraction table with exception flags, ready to evaluate for expansion.
Illustrative result
A freelance designer pointed her Bot at a folder of 12 PDF invoices from suppliers, watched it pull amounts and due dates into a spreadsheet draft, and approved the clean rows while the Bot flagged two duplicate invoices she had missed.
