Looks cool! I don't understand the negativity here. If you really think a general Python script can be easily written to solve this problem, I invite you to actually try and write that script.

I actually just vibed a hyper-specific version of a similar tool for myself a couple weeks ago, mostly just for fun to see if I (or Claude) could. Took about an hour, and it's now able to automate the spreadsheet process my girlfriend and I use each month to split certain expenses. Saves us each ~15 minutes weekly.

I'm loving the ability LLMs provide to both build personal software so rapidly, as well as solve these kinds of fuzzier natural language problem spaces so relatively easily.

Side note: the state of consumer transaction reporting is absolute garbage. There should really be more metadata mandated by consumer protection regs or something. The fact that this is a hard problem in the first place feels very dumb.
