Invobi Refresh
It’s been a bit over a year since I made any changes to my invoice generation service, Invobi, but the time to make some has come.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I see utility in interface-less services where it makes sense, and for something as simple as invoice generation, it’s a great fit. So I’ve gone ahead and done it - all the UI datepickers, input fields, and dropdowns are gone. You now just describe what you want in plain text, and AI takes care of the rest.
This makes the whole thing a lot simpler for both parties. You don’t have to deal with a bunch of UI controls, and I don’t have to maintain a complex frontend. Really all I maintain now is the API and the various LLM integrations. Less code, less bugs, less headaches.
When I originally launched the service over a year ago, I had plans to add paid tiers with more features. Never got around to it, because life happens. However, I’m now actively working towards that, and I’m hoping to get it out in the first quarter of 2026. The paid plans will include things like a REST API so you could integrate invoice generation into your own apps, among other things.
The free tier with no sign up required will always stay, because that’s the whole point. Bring your own AI API key and go forth. I plan on adding support for more models soon, but for now only Gemini is supported.
