Audio Takeaway: I Made ChatGPT Track My Expenses and it Roasted My Financial Decisions

Your AI just got a finance degree (and now it's scary smart)

So I just taught ChatGPT how to track my expenses. And honestly, it's getting a little too comfortable roasting my financial decisions.

But here's the thing—now when my business partner and I need to decide how we're going to spend money, instead of either of us frantically trying to remember how much we've spent this month, our AI just tells us exactly what's up.

I took the same Notion setup that already understood my brand voice and goals and started feeding it financial data. The result? A custom GPT that doesn't just get my business strategy—it understands my financial situation. Picture this: I take a photo of a receipt at a coffee shop, drop it directly into my chat with my custom GPT. Within seconds, my AI has categorized it, identified it as a potential business expense, and added it to my financial dashboard with contextual notes.

But here's where it gets interesting. ChatGPT doesn't just track that expense—it connects the dots. It'll say, "You've spent $387 on coffee this month. That's a lot. Should I categorize any of this as a business expense?" It's not just tracking. It's actually useful.

When I asked it to roast my spending patterns, it said: "If your life was a reality show, the title would be 'Auto Pay and Cry.'" Brutal, accurate, hilarious, and somehow more motivating than any financial advisor I've ever had.

We accidentally created a full-on business intelligence tool that helps us make smarter financial decisions. AI becomes exponentially more useful when it knows your context instead of you having to explain everything every single time.
