Knowledge graph explorer

Explore the network of merchants, products, categories and payment methods found in your receipts.

Open Analytics, "Knowledge graph", "Explorer". The knowledge graph shows the relationships between merchants, products and categories from your receipts. It is built automatically from every processed receipt. You do not need to enter anything.

Each circle (node) is an entity. Each line (connection) is a relation, for example a product that is sold by a merchant. The more often an entity appears in your receipts, the larger its circle. The more often a relation appears, the thicker its line.

    Type into "Search entities …" to show only entities whose name contains the text, and the connections between them.

  3. 3. Navigate

    Use the buttons "Zoom in", "Zoom out" and "Fit" (shows the whole graph). You can also zoom with the mouse wheel and move the view by dragging.

  4. 4. Inspect an entity

    Click a node. It is highlighted and a panel opens on the right with Type, Occurrences, First seen, Last seen and Properties. Close the panel with the cross icon.

Good to know

  • When there are no receipts yet, the page says "No data yet" and asks you to upload receipts.
  • Names are stored in capital letters, so "Coffee" and "COFFEE" are the same entity.
  • Deleting a receipt does not remove its entities from the graph.
  • The knowledge graph is a specialist page. In the "Simple view" it is hidden from the sidebar.
  • The graph is built with an AI model, so some relations can be incomplete or wrong.
