Introducing a revolutionary way to manage your personal finances. This n8n workflow leverages the power of AI to transform your casual expense logs into organized data. Simply send a message to your n8n chat with your expense details – like "coffee; $5; today" – and let our intelligent agent do the rest. The AI will parse the unstructured text, extract key information (cost, description, date), and seamlessly append it as a new row to your designated Google Sheet. Say goodbye to manual data entry and hello to streamlined, automated expense tracking.
