How It Works
The workflow begins when an expense-related chat message is received through Chattrigger. The AI agent uses OpenAI's natural language processing to extract key financial information, identifying expense details like amount, category, and date. The Informationextractor node then validates and structures the data, which is automatically populated into a predefined Google Sheets template. The Memorybufferwindow ensures context retention for complex expense entries, creating a seamless and intelligent expense tracking process.
