What they did

He connected his email and asked Grok Bot to read every email about his income and spending and put it all into a spreadsheet. It did, and offered to send him a report like it every month.

How it went

A spreadsheet of his income and spending built from his email, plus an offer of a recurring monthly report.

Worth knowing

  • X post by @supremequantiff (Oct 26, 2026 Denver time): Grok Bot read his email for income and spending, put it in a spreadsheet, and offered a monthly report.
  • Email misses cash and anything that never sends a receipt; reconcile against your bank once.

Read my email ([inbox]) for [period] and pull out every income and spending record: receipts, invoices, payouts, bank and card alerts. Put them in a spreadsheet with date, merchant/payer, amount, category and a link to the email. Add monthly totals by category.
