TL;DR
What did @EmBeeThree use ChatGPT for?
After realizing they'd bought device protection plans and never used them, with warranty info scattered across emails and notes, a person had ChatGPT create a Google Sheets tracker to keep it all in one place. They now have a single tracker for warranties and protection plans instead of info spread across apps.
What they did
They noticed they'd bought device protection plans and completely forgotten about them, and that their warranty info was scattered in emails and Apple Notes. They used ChatGPT to create a tracker in Google Sheets for it.
How it went
They now have a single tracker for warranties and protection plans instead of info spread across apps.
Worth knowing
- The tracker only helps if you fill it in, so add each plan when you buy it and set a calendar reminder before coverage ends. Keep receipts and plan numbers too, since claims usually need proof.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
Design a Google Sheets tracker for my warranties and protection plans. Columns: item, store, purchase date, price, warranty type, provider, plan or policy number, coverage end date, how to claim (link or phone), where the receipt is saved, and days left. Give me the formula for 'days left' and a conditional-formatting rule that turns a row red 30 days before coverage ends.
