Track household expenses from receipts and emails into a spreadsheet
ChatGPT Work reads receipt photos, Gmail purchase emails and card notifications, sorts them into a spreadsheet and saves receipt images to Google Drive.
- What They Did
- The author connected Google Drive (which also covers Sheets), Gmail and optionally Google Calendar through ChatGPT's plugin settings. They photograph a receipt on an iPhone and send it to a pinned ChatGPT Work thread. The agent logs it in a spreadsheet and saves the image to Drive. A daily 9 PM scheduled Gmail check flags card notifications and purchase emails not yet organized.
- How It Went
- Receipts are logged by photo alone, with a Drive link stored in each row. It cannot pull bank balances or card statement amounts automatically. The author also uses it to create invoices.
- Worth Knowing
- Only one Google account can apparently be connected, so consolidate your purchase emails into a single address first.
