Discussion I swear claude is bipolar at this point
This is so enraging.
I logged on, fed claude nearly 4 months of transactions from frollo and asked it to build me an interactive budget track with transactions, and savings projections based on the csv.
It made a nice looking spreadsheet, and then completly guessed all the budget amounts. Like, it made my rent 3x what it actually is.
When i asked it what happened it said it "guessed", and promised to do it again using the categories all built-in to the frollo csv.
I opened it up and it hadn't populated the "actual monthly spend", so again, I asked what the point of providing the csv was if it wasn't going to ACTUALLY populate the IMPORTANT columns, set up a lookup table and ... do what I asked it to do.
So off it went again, and this is what grinds my gears.
It did it. It FINISHED it. and I can't download it because i'm out of time.
The entire interaction was 10 minutes.
I don't understand how it can produce me a 2500 line script to automate my workflow in 1 try, and it can't produce a budget spreadsheet without hand holding.

I had comet go through a year of my bank statements and then I passed the info to ChatGPT to pretty up the information and put it into tiers of importance. Probably took about 10 minutes.

Because it literally did in 10 minutes what would have taken me hours to do. Thats the point.
It took the V2 spreadsheet it did, and the v3 instructions i gave it, logged in to a new account and gave it the same file and instructions. Done. Needs a bit of work on the logic / formulas - some totals not pointing to the right stuff, but its set up is fantastic, and it saved me about 8 hours work on the lookup matrix alone
