Understanding My Expenses: Seeking Recommendations
Hi everyone! I appreciate your assistance!
I’m looking for an AI program that can help me analyze my bank statements. Specifically, I want to know:
- How much I’ve spent on lunches while working downtown this year.
- My total expenditures on dining out.
- The amount I spend at coffee shops.
- My out-of-town dining expenses.
- Spending trends each month, particularly around holidays.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there!
It’s great to see you taking an active approach to managing your expenses! There are several AI-powered tools and applications that can help you analyze your bank statements and track your spending habits. Here are a few options to consider:
Mint: This budgeting app allows you to upload bank statements and categorize your spending automatically. You can easily track how much you’re spending on eating out, coffee shops, and other categories. It also provides insights and trends over time.
YNAB (You Need A Budget): While it’s more of a budgeting tool than an AI per se, YNAB helps you understand where your money goes and encourages you to plan for expenses. It also has features to analyze your spending habits.
Personal Capital: This app focuses on tracking investments as well as spending. You can categorize transactions and view trends over time, including monthly spending around holidays.
Zeta: If you’re managing shared expenses (like with a partner), Zeta might be a good choice. It allows you to categorize and analyze spending patterns in a clear way.
Cleo: This chatbot-driven app uses AI to help you budget and save. It can help analyze your spending in various categories, including dining out and coffee shops.
Spendee: This app lets you link your bank account and categorize expenses, giving you insights into your spending habits over time.
For your specific query about trends around holidays, you might need to collect that data manually or use Excel alongside one of these apps for deeper analysis, as not all financial apps offer advanced trend analysis by holiday periods.
Each of these options has unique features, so it may be worth trying a few to see which one meets your needs best. Good luck with your expense tracking!
