Technology

Built on the best tools in the business.

Expo brings together seven industry-leading technologies into one simple text conversation. Here's what's under the hood.

Square API

Point of Sale

Real-time access to your sales data, orders, item-level details, labor, timecards, and payment breakdowns. Expo queries Square live so your answers are always current.

Plaid

Banking

Read-only connection to your business checking account. Expo sees balances, transactions, and deposits — but can never move, transfer, or withdraw your money.

Claude AI by Anthropic

Intelligence

The AI brain behind every conversation. Claude analyzes your POS data, bank activity, and invoice history to give you real, personalized business answers — not generic advice.

Twilio

SMS Delivery

Industry-leading SMS infrastructure that delivers your messages reliably. Every text you send and receive goes through Twilio's carrier-grade network.

Stripe

Billing

Secure subscription billing. Your payment information is handled entirely by Stripe — we never see or store your credit card number.

Google Cloud Vision

Invoice OCR

When you text a photo of an invoice, Google's AI reads every line item, price, and quantity. Expo then tracks it all and alerts you to price changes.

Amazon Web Services

Infrastructure

Our servers and invoice image storage run on AWS — the same cloud infrastructure used by Netflix, Airbnb, and thousands of enterprise applications.
