Text the bot when you buy something; it logs the expense spreadsheet for you

Expense trackers die when you have to open a sheet after every purchase.

What hurt

@rawdogmillionar built a personal finance tracker, then switched to texting Grok Bot after each buy. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

The bot enters the row in the spreadsheet—no separate data-entry step.

Bots

  • No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.

Plugins

  • None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/rawdogmillionar/status/2109402869879210281 (credit @rawdogmillionar).
  2. 2Connect or create your expense spreadsheet and show the bot the columns.
  3. 3Say: when I text an amount and merchant, append a row.
  4. 4Send three real purchases as tests; fix category rules.
  5. 5Weekly: skim the sheet for miscategorized rows.

Approval fence

Sheet writes are fine; transfers or payments still need your OK.

What to tweak

Capture at the moment of spend, not at month-end.
