I Built an AI Invoice Generator That Actually Understands Plain English

As a freelancer, I used to waste 20+ minutes on every invoice. Finding templates, filling fields, double-checking numbers, exporting to PDF...

So I built InvoiceQuill AI - describe your work in plain English, get a professional invoice instantly.

How It Works

Just type something like:

"Invoice for John at Acme Corp, 10 hours of React development at $100/hr, due in 30 days"

The AI understands:

  • ✅ Client name and company
  • ✅ Line items and quantities
  • ✅ Hourly rates or fixed prices
  • ✅ Due dates and payment terms

Features

  • 📝 Natural language input - no forms to fill
  • 👀 Live PDF preview - see changes instantly
  • 🎨 Multiple templates - professional designs
  • 💾 One-click download - PDF ready to send
  • 📧 Email integration - send directly (coming soon)

The Tech

Built with Next.js + OpenAI for NLU. The challenge was handling the variety of ways people describe invoices - "10 hrs @ 100", "ten hours at a hundred bucks", "$1000 for the project" all need to work.

Try It

Free tier: 5 invoices/month. No signup required to try.
