- No-codeYes
What they did
Trying to eat out less? This user gave Muse read-only access to their credit card through the Plaid connector. Each week it reports how much they spent on groceries and eating out. At month end it gives a general spending summary based on patterns it sees. It also unsubscribes them from old newsletters and spam every week, and turns app notifications into Google Tasks or calendar events to review.
How it went
A weekly food spending check and a monthly spending summary.
Worth knowing
- One Reddit comment, no figures. Give read-only access only. Automatic category tagging can be wrong, so spot-check it.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
With read-only access to my card transactions, send me a report every [Sunday]: total spent on groceries vs eating out this week, compared with last week and my target of [$]. At the end of each month, summarize my spending by category and point out any patterns or charges I should look at. Don't move money or change anything.
