The integration between Darwin AI and Google Sheets enables the automation of tasks such as debt tracking and payment recording, without the need to manually edit the file or use complex spreadsheet formulas. Below is a step-by-step example of how this automation works.
📄 Document Structure
In this scenario, we use a Google Sheets file containing two separate tabs:
Debts: Contains the original amount and the updated outstanding debt value for each individual.
Payments: Records all payments made, including the client's unique identifier (ID/NIE), amount, date, and payment receipt.
🤖 Practical Example of AI Interaction
1. Checking Debt Status
The conversation begins with a simple request:
User: "Hi, can you update the debt table, please?"
AI: "Of course, I can help you with that. Would you like to record a payment or add a new debt?"
In this case, the user first requests information regarding a specific debt:
User: "First, tell me what Rafael's current debt value is."
The AI requests a key piece of data to perform the lookup:
AI: "Please provide Rafael's ID."
Once the ID is provided, the AI searches the "Debts" sheet and replies:
AI: "The original debt was $12,500, and the current debt is also $12,500." (Indicating no payments have been recorded yet).
2. Recording a New Payment
Next, the user requests to log a transaction:
User: "Record a payment of $500."
The AI requests the necessary information to complete the entry:
📅 Payment date
🖼️ Image of the payment receipt
Once the receipt image is received, the AI analyzes it to validate:
The exact amount
The transaction date
Account details
The unique customer identifier (ID/NIE)
It then proceeds to log the payment in the corresponding sheet.
📈 Automatic File Updates
After validating the payment details, the AI simultaneously performs two actions:
Logs a brand new row in the Payments sheet.
Automatically updates the pending amount in the Debts sheet by deducting the newly entered payment.
Resulting update:
A payment of $500 has been recorded.
The previous debt was $12,500, and it has now been updated to $12,000.
🧠 Adaptation to Any Corporate Format
Darwin AI dynamically adapts to the existing file structure of any business, including:
Custom customer ID formats.
Additional columns with business-specific information.
Custom operational rules (such as interest rates, partial payments, among others).
