Ask AI for a short summary of your expenses. Return JSON {"data":"...","ask":"...","format":"..."}: data - briefly about the data (what kind of string, units); ask - what specific numbers should the summary show (total, top categories, shares, average bill, etc.); format — how to display the answer, CHOOSE exactly one of: “short list”, “table”, “one paragraph”.
A summary is when hundreds of lines are compressed into a few numbers. Mechanics: AI collapses the table into aggregates - summary numbers: sum, average, shares, top categories. But it will only collapse what you named, otherwise it will retell the columns instead of the conclusions. Levers: Ask for specific values, not “talk about data.” Total for the period, top 3 spending categories, average bill, percentage shares. Insider: ask for “5 main numbers” - limiting the number forces the AI to select what is important, and not pour water. Second trick: ask for a percentage share, not just rubles. “Housing - 34%” is read instantly, but “41,200 rubles” needs to be compared with something else; the percentage already carries a comparison within. A typical mistake: “make a summary” without specifying the necessary numbers - you get a paraphrase (“there are dates and amounts here”), and not conclusions on which you can act.
