What the Transaction Categorization Agent does
It proposes a category for every uncoded transaction with the evidence: date, payee, amount, proposed category, evidence, review status. You approve the batch.
Categorization errors compound into wrong reports. This assistant applies your category rules consistently, records the evidence per transaction, and lists only the genuinely ambiguous ones as questions. You review the edge cases instead of the whole pile, and the same vendor codes the same way every month.
Where the Included files go in ChatGPT Dots
Give skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt to your dot as reference instructions it can read. Ask it to restate the job and output contract, then run the setup prompt on fictional data. Review the result before connecting real records. Text instructions do not install a plugin or grant access. OpenAI says local skills require a connected computer, online with the ChatGPT app open.
What a run looks like on ChatGPT Dots
Ask your dot to run the Transaction Categorization Agent with the approved inputs. It should return the workflow's evidence and unknowns for review, not act on missing facts. Review the saved result and proposed actions before anything is sent, spent, published or scheduled.
Setup, step by step
- Check eligible Dots access and connect only the source account this job needs.
- Provide skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt as readable reference instructions. A local skill needs a connected computer.
- Run the fictional setup test and inspect the actual output.
- Use the usage prompt with authorized inputs for a preparation-only real run. Review the destination and saved result before approving actions.
Fictional test: A fictional payee name suggests software but no receipt supports it. Expected: a proposed category with weak evidence, not a posted ledger entry.
Honest limits on ChatGPT Dots
Dots access is rolling out gradually on eligible plans and accounts. Create your dot on desktop first; mobile web is not supported. Plugins, messaging channels and computer access are separate. Check the connected account and permitted actions. Built-in safeguards and automatic action review apply; custom rules do not override them. This is a documentation-based guide, not a live Dots account test.
