How does an AI financial planner in Google Sheets actually work?

It uses a structured Google Sheet as the data source, then an AI layer reads that data to answer decision questions and suggest next steps.

Step 1: A clean data layer

Your income, bills, transactions, and goals live in predictable tabs. Without that structure, AI answers stay generic.

Step 2: The AI decision layer

The AI reads your numbers to answer questions like “Can I increase rent by $200?” or “How fast can I pay off this card?” and suggests trade‑offs.

Prompt → output examples

Example prompts and outputs: “Can I afford a $75 gym?” → shows monthly buffer impact; “What should I cut?” → lists top 3 drifting categories; “How fast can I save $3,000?” → gives a monthly target and date.

Next step

Ask one decision question per week and turn the answer into a single action. That is how AI turns into progress.
