Track Every Expense by Sending a Quick Message. No App Switching Required.
Snap a photo of a receipt, forward an email confirmation, or just type the amount. Your RunTheAgents assistant logs it, categorizes it, and keeps a running total. Expense reports practically write themselves.
Expense Tracking That Fits Your Life
The Business Lunch
You finish a client lunch, snap a photo of the receipt, and send it to your assistant on WhatsApp with a note: "Lunch with Acme Corp, business development." The assistant reads the receipt, logs the amount, categorizes it under meals and entertainment, and tags it with the client name. Done before you leave the restaurant.
Subscription Audit
End of the quarter, you ask your assistant: "What am I paying monthly for subscriptions?" It checks your recent bank statements or subscription tracking and lists every recurring charge: $12 for Spotify, $15 for a tool you forgot about, $29 for a service you canceled but that's still billing. Instant visibility.
Monthly Report
Your accountant needs your expense report by the 5th. On the 3rd, you message your assistant: "Prepare my January expense report." It compiles all logged expenses into a categorized summary with dates, amounts, categories, and notes. You review and forward it.
How the Assistant Handles Expenses
Receipt Reading
Send a photo of any receipt and the assistant extracts the merchant name, date, total amount, and line items. It handles messy handwriting, faded thermal paper, and foreign currency receipts.
Smart Categorization
Expenses are automatically categorized based on the merchant and description. Coffee shops go to meals. Uber goes to transport. AWS billing goes to software. You can customize categories and the assistant learns your preferences.
Multi-Currency Support
Traveling internationally? The assistant tracks expenses in their original currency and converts to your home currency using current exchange rates. Useful for international business trips.
Running Totals and Budgets
Ask your assistant any time: "How much have I spent on dining this month?" or "Am I within my travel budget?" It provides instant totals across any category or time period.
Why Most Expense Tracking Fails (And How to Fix It)
Expense tracking apps fail for one reason: friction. You have to open a separate app, manually enter data, categorize it, and attach a receipt. When you are busy, this takes a backseat. Receipts pile up in your wallet. Bank statements get reconciled weeks late. By the time you do your expense report, you are reconstructing from memory.
Messaging your assistant removes almost all friction. The input method you use dozens of times daily (sending a message) becomes your expense tracking interface. There is no app to remember, no form to fill out, no receipt to scan in a dedicated app. Just send a message or photo to the chat you already have open.
Setting Up Expense Tracking
Define Your Categories
Tell your assistant which expense categories you use: meals, transport, software, office supplies, client entertainment, or whatever fits your business. It will use these for all future tracking.
Start Logging
Whenever you spend money, send a quick message: a receipt photo, a forwarded email confirmation, or just "$45 dinner with client." The assistant handles the rest.
Request Reports
At any time, ask for summaries: weekly spending, monthly by category, year-to-date totals. The assistant compiles whatever view you need from your expense history.
