Foundation Template Try Tiller Free

A Tiller Transactions sheet with standard headers, an editable Category column, Transaction Id and Account Id columns, and a Create New Rules panel assigning Netflix to Streaming.

One consistent structure for every account.

Standard headers give AI predictable fields to filter, group, and compare your financial data across institutions.

Saved edits carry your financial context forward.

Splits, notes, category changes, and added columns inform later questions and reports

Unique IDs enable reliable matching.

Stable Transaction, Account, and Balance IDs give AI references for account-level queries, and database-style joins.

Your categories tell AI what transactions mean to you.

Your category rules tell AI when a transaction is personal, reimbursable, or something else.

One consistent structure for every account. Standard headers give AI predictable fields to filter, group, and compare your financial data across institutions.

Unique IDs enable reliable matching. Stable Transaction, Account, and Balance IDs give AI references for account-level queries, and database-style joins.

Direct table queries protect context limits. Tiller’s structure lets AI query and retrieve only the exact rows it needs, reducing errors and saving token limits.

Your categories tell AI what transactions mean to you. Your category rules tell AI when a transaction is personal, reimbursable, or something else.

Dedicated balance history prevents guesswork. AI can pull historical balances from Balance History instead of calculating past balances from daily spending rows.

Saved edits carry your financial context forward. Splits, notes, category changes, and added columns inform later questions and reports

Explicit logic handles financial edge cases. Income, Expense, and Transfer labels tell AI how to process transactions, preventing transfers from being counted as new spending or income.

Separate sheets isolate raw activity from reports. Balances and Transactions are separate from budgets and dashboards so AI doesn’t confuse them with source transactions.

Spreadsheet math ensures verifiable calculations. Formulas, pivots, queries, and scripts execute directly in the sheet, letting you audit AI answers in place outside the chat.
