Apply to the Magpie private beta

Magpie is a Telegram bot that reads your receipts with AI and files them in a tidy expense ledger. We're welcoming a small first cohort of testers. This application takes about 3 minutes. We'll email you with next steps if you're picked.

Tech comfort

Do you actively use Telegram?

Yes, daily

Yes, sometimes

I'd install it for this

I'd rather not use Telegram

Comfortable with English-only commands?

Yes

I'd prefer another language

Privacy expectations

Heads up on privacy: Magpie sends each receipt photo to one AI service (Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Groq, OpenAI, or local Ollama on the host) to read it. The bot runs on a private Mac mini in Singapore — PDPA-compliant. The operator sees anonymised usage stats only — number of receipts, errors, basic activity. The operator cannot read receipt contents without your explicit permission. You can delete everything with one command at any time. Full details: hellomagpie.app/privacy.html

Are you OK with this setup?

Yes, sounds fine

I'd want more details before deciding

No, I'd prefer a fully local setup

Commitment

Will you give honest feedback every 2 weeks during the beta?

Yes, definitely

I'll try

Probably not — I just want to use it

Anything else you'd like us to know?

Before you submit — what happens next:

Magpie is free early access and I approve manually. After you submit: • Your invite arrives within an hour during waking hours (SGT) — if you apply at 3am, expect it in the morning. • It comes from h ello@hellomagpie.app with an approval code to redeem in Telegram. • ⚠️ Check your spam/junk folder if it's not in your inbox within an hour — Gmail sometimes flags new senders the first time. If you still don't see it after a few hours, reply to this form's confirmation email.

I understand — I'll check my spam folder if the invite doesn't appear within an hour

Yes, I understand
