Try it yourself with Claude Cowork
I've put my monthly bank statements from [months] in [folder]. Merge them into one spreadsheet, categorize each transaction, and build a dashboard showing spending by category, monthly totals, and [metrics, e.g. savings rate]. If I add [portfolio holdings file], also show my allocation by asset type. Finish by telling me the three biggest things you notice, and do not change or delete my original files.
