longbook

Prompts to ask, report and tidy

Paste these into Claude or ChatGPT with the longbook connector on.

Ask (nothing in longbook changes)

  • "What's my next commitment in my longbook": the next day you owe something, and what is due.
  • "What is coming in my longbook in the next 30 days?": everything due, by day, with the total per currency.
  • "What did I spend in July in my longbook?": what you spent, and what is not yet confirmed.
  • "What renews this year in my longbook?": your yearly, half-yearly and quarterly payments, in date order.
  • "Make my weekly longbook page": one page for the week.
  • "Set up a morning brief for my longbook": a short summary every morning. Needs scheduled tasks in your AI.

Reports

  • "Create a report in my longbook": over the days, accounts, people and categories you choose. Counts confirmed charges only.
  • "Make a report of my Goa trip in my longbook": fills in as the trip's charges are confirmed.

Tidy

  • "Tidy my longbook": finds doubled charges, bank-style names and odd categories, and fixes each one once you approve it.
  • "Reorganise my longbook": one pass over the whole book. Names as you'd say them, every row in a category, people and accounts linked, doubles merged, nothing lost. Amounts and dates are never touched. It waits in Proposals as one proposal.

In the app, Reorganise my longbook on the AI Connections screen runs it with longbook's own AI. It is limited each month, and more with Cloud.
