How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Scan my inboxes for receipts and invoices since last run. De-duplicate, categorize by vendor using past choices, log them to my expense sheet, and summarize totals.
Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
