Forget Spreadsheets and JavaScript: My AI Expense Tracker Changed Everything

Michael showcases the power expense tracker built with Jac and its unique tech stack revealing his spending habits.

Michael Compiles introduces his dream expense tracker built from scratch using the Jac programming language (0:03). He highlights that it was built without JavaScript, emphasizing its unique tech stack (0:37). The tracker's main purpose is to uncover spending habits and help users become more financially responsible (0:46, 1:10).

Key features and demonstrations include:

Manual expense entry (2:50, 3:37).
Adding expenses from text (2:54, 4:26).
Voice-to-text input for expenses, reducing typing hassle (2:58, 5:25).
Analysis of spending data, such as identifying top merchants and category breakdowns (8:25, 9:05).
Comparison analysis of spending across different categories like food, transport, and shopping (10:23).
The ability to query the data to gain insights into spending patterns (8:39, 11:45).
The video also touches upon a technical issue with extracting expense details from images, which was reported and expected to be resolved in a future release (1:27). Despite this, the speaker demonstrates how the tracker works effectively with manual, text, and voice inputs (2:47). He concludes by emphasizing the ease of building such a system with the Jac stack compared to other popular frameworks (14:44).
