Creating an expense tracking app with AI from receipt scan. When it pulls the information, I get the amount and date fields populated the way I want, but I want it to also find the vendor and generate a human-friendly description (lunch at Restaurant Name on Date in City). It does this mostly fine except that it formats the data with [“Walgreens”] which is how it then appears in the UI. How do I get it to remove the brackets and quotation marks?

Use the generate text action instead!

Are you using the Document to Text integration? I think like Maxime said, adding a Generate Text action on top of it to format it the way you want will work.
