Track the family budget by chatting on WhatsApp
A family logs spending by sending short WhatsApp messages to an agent, which files each expense into categories and answers questions like how much went on groceries this month.
Steps
- Connect the agent to a messaging gateway
- Agree on categories as a family
- Ask for a monthly summary
Starter prompt
When someone writes 'groceries 64.20', file it under Groceries with today's date. On the 1st of each month, send the family chat a summary per category vs. last month.
