Use Cases
Use Cases -Personal or family budget tracking. -Small business expense logging via Telegram -Hands-free logging (using voice messages) How it works: -Trigger receives text or voice. -Optional branch transcribes audio to text. -AI parses into a structured array (SOP enforces schema). -Split Out produces 1 item per expense. -Loop Over Items appends rows sequentially with a Wait, preventing missed writes. -In parallel, Item Lists (Aggregate) builds a single summary string; Merge (Wait for Both) releases one final Telegram confirmation. Setup Instructions Connect credentials: Telegram, Google, OpenAI. Sheets: Create a sheet with headers Date, Category, Merchant, Amount, Note. Copy Spreadsheet ID + sheet name. Map columns in Append to Google Sheet. Pick models: set Chat model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini) and Whisper for transcription if using audio. Wait time: keep 500–1000 ms to avoid API race conditions. Run: Send a Telegram message like: Gas 34.67, Groceries 82.45, Coffee 6.25, Lunch 14.90. Customization ideas: -Add categories map (Memory/Set) for consistent labeling. -Add currency detection/formatting. -Add error-to-Telegram path for invalid schema.
