What This Skill Does
Connects to PocketLens, a personal expense tracking service, to record transactions from receipt images, card statement screenshots, or verbal descriptions. Supports querying spending summaries and card billing amounts by month.
Eliminates manual data entry by extracting transaction details directly from images and submitting them to PocketLens in one step.
When to use it
- Scanning a restaurant receipt to log a meal expense
- Uploading a credit card statement screenshot to bulk-import charges
- Asking for a breakdown of spending by category for the current month
- Checking how much is owed on a specific card before the due date
- Verbally logging a cash purchase without an image
