You get
Daily auto-sync of transactions to Google Sheet; weekly Page with categorized spending, week-over-week changes, and actionable suggestions
You need
Google Sheets

Constraints

Requires Grok Bot, EU bank account, free Enable Banking account (for application ID and private key), and Google account. Read-only throughout; no money movement. Bank re-authorization typically needed after ~180 days.

What they did

Author lukewarm_hero published a tutorial on X showing how to build a read-only auto-tracking finance system in Europe using Grok Bot with Enable Banking and Google Sheets. The system includes a daily transaction sync routine and a weekly coaching Page generated every Monday.

How it went

The author reports that after setup, transactions automatically flow into a Google Sheet each morning, and a weekly Page arrives with spending categories, week-over-week changes, and actionable suggestions. Unusual transactions trigger notifications. (author_report)

Worth knowing

Bank authorization typically expires after ~180 days; have the Bot remind you to renew. Treat the private key as a password and never paste it into chat. This setup is Europe-only; US users have simpler built-in options. Not financial advice—review your bank's and Enable Banking's terms before connecting.

Steps

  1. Create a Money Coach Bot

    Create a dedicated Grok Bot for money tracking to keep it separate from other chats. Paste the prompt below into Grok Bot.

    Create a new Grok Bot called Money Coach. Its job is to track my spending from my bank account, keep it in a Google Sheet, and coach me once a week on where my money went. It only ever reads my bank data. It never moves money.
  2. Get Your Keys from Enable Banking

    Sign up for a free Enable Banking account and create an application in their control panel. You'll receive an application ID and a private key file. Use the prompt below to have Grok Bot walk you through the control panel settings.

    I'm setting up Enable Banking so you can read my bank account. Walk me through creating an application in their control panel one step at a time, and tell me which settings to pick for personal use.
  3. Hand the Keys to Grok Bot as Secrets

    Do not paste the private key into regular chat. Use the prompt below to have Grok Bot request and store your Enable Banking application ID and private key as secrets.

    Ask me for my Enable Banking application ID and private key as secrets and save them so you can use them later. Never show them in the chat.
  4. Approve Read-Only Access in Your Bank App

    Grok Bot will use your Enable Banking keys to request read-only access to your bank and send you an approval link. Open the link, log in with your bank app as usual, and approve. Use the prompt below to start the connection.

    Execution prompt · Source text。Grok Bot chat input, to initiate bank read-only connection (replace [your bank] with your actual bank name)

    Use my Enable Banking keys to connect to my bank account at [your bank], read-only. Send me the link to approve it, and tell me once it worked.
  5. Set Up Morning Sync to Sheet

    Set up a scheduled routine so Grok Bot pulls new transactions every morning, appends them to a Google Sheet called Money, and sorts them into categories. You'll only be notified of anomalies.

    Execution prompt · Source text。Grok Bot chat input, to create daily sync routine

    Set up a routine that runs every morning at 7:00. Pull my new transactions, add them to a Google Sheet called Money, and sort them into categories. Only message me if something looks off: a new subscription, a charge much bigger than usual, or the bank connection failing.
  6. Get Your Weekly Coaching Page

    Set up a second routine that auto-generates a weekly spending summary Page every Monday morning, covering total spend, top categories, week-over-week changes, subscription alerts, and actionable suggestions.

    Execution prompt · Source text。Grok Bot chat input, to create weekly coaching Page routine

    Every Monday at 08:00, go through last week's spending in my Money sheet and make me a Page. Show what I spent in total, my top categories, what changed compared to the week before, any subscriptions, and one or two things I could do differently. Keep it short and honest, no lecturing.
