AI Expense Parsing

Input:  "@FractiBot I paid 50 TON for dinner with Alice and Bob"

Claude AI extracts:

Database Schema

Single-table DynamoDB design with three Global Secondary Indexes:

PK	SK	GSI1	GSI2	GSI3	Type
`GROUP#<id>`	`METADATA`	—	—	—	Group
`GROUP#<id>`	`USER#<tgId>`	`USER#<tgId>`	—	—	Member
`GROUP#<id>`	`TX#<ts>`	—	`EXPENSE#<id>`	`USER#<payerId>`	Expense
`GROUP#<id>`	`SETTLE#<ts>`	—	`SETTLEMENT#<id>`	`USER#<fromId>`	Settlement
`GROUP#<id>`	`PART#<exp>#<usr>`	`USER#<userId>`	—	—	Participant

Index Usage:

GSI1 — Find all groups for a user, find expenses user owes
GSI2 — O(1) lookup by expense/settlement ID
GSI3 — User activity timeline

See docs/DATABASE_SCHEMA.md for complete documentation.
