ChatGPT, Google Forms, Google Drive

TL;DR
What did O.G Obinna (@Obinna_Gates) use ChatGPT for?
After abandoning a finance spreadsheet because updating it felt like a chore, a user had ChatGPT create a simple Google Form with only the essential fields and connect it to the tracker, so spending and income can be logged from a phone in seconds. Now each time they earn or spend money they can log it in seconds from a phone or computer, and the spreadsheet updates automatically. Their verdict: "The result? Spot on."
What they did
They had built an Excel sheet at the start of the year to track their finances but stopped using it by mid-February, because opening a laptop and typing in transactions felt like a chore. They asked ChatGPT to create a simple Google Form with only the essential fields and connect it to their financial tracker on Google Drive, then added the form to their phone's home screen.
How it went
Now each time they earn or spend money they can log it in seconds from a phone or computer, and the spreadsheet updates automatically. Their verdict: "The result? Spot on."
Worth knowing
- The form only helps if you keep using it, and the sheet's totals are only as good as what you enter. Keep the form link private, since anyone with it could add entries.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

I want to track my spending and income in a Google Sheet without opening my laptop. Help me set up a short Google Form with only the essential fields (date, amount, money in or out, category, note) that sends each answer into my sheet, and explain how to put the form on my phone's home screen.
