The uploaded invoice file is automatically stored in your configured AWS S3 bucket.\n3. AWS Textract processes the file to accurately extract all relevant data, such as line items, totals, and vendor information.\n4. Google Gemini then summarizes the extracted invoice details, highlighting key financial and transactional information.\n5. Finally, this AI-generated summary is sent as a direct message to a specified user or channel in Slack.\n\n\n### Setup\n* [ ] Connect your AWS S3 account.\n* [ ] Specify the AWS S3 bucket name for storing invoice files.\n* [ ] Add your Google Gemini API credentials.\n* [ ] Connect your Slack account.\n* [ ] Select the Slack user or channel to receive the invoice summaries.\n* [ ] Ensure your AWS account has the necessary permissions for Textract and S3 operations."
