Project Description: Personal Finance Chatbot with WhatsApp

This project involves the development of a personal finance chatbot integrated with WhatsApp, designed to help users track expenses, monitor budgets, and set savings goals in an easy and accessible way. The chatbot will use WhatsApp for seamless and natural user interaction, while Google Sheets will be employed to store and organize financial data.

Main Features:

1. Expense tracking via conversation: Users can record their expenses in real-time through a WhatsApp conversation. They simply need to input the expense details, and the chatbot will automatically log the information in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
2. Budget monitoring: The chatbot will allow users to set personalized budgets by categories, such as food, transportation, or entertainment. As new expenses are logged, the chatbot will update the budget status and send alerts if the user is close to exceeding their budget limits.
3. Setting and tracking savings goals: Users can define monthly savings goals or specific goals (e.g., vacations, purchases, emergency funds). The chatbot will provide updates on progress towards these goals and offer personalized recommendations to help users stay on track.
4. Alerts and recommendations: As expenses are logged and budgets are updated, the chatbot will send alerts when the user is close to overspending or when patterns of unnecessary spending are detected. It will also provide helpful recommendations for saving money and optimizing budgets.
5. Data visualization: All the information collected will be organized in Google Sheets, allowing the user to review their finances in detail at any time. This will include summaries of expenses, current budgets, and the status of savings goals.

The goal of this personal finance chatbot is to provide users with an easy-to-use tool that helps them manage their money efficiently, avoid overspending, and facilitate saving.
