The ask
Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.
The owners want to see what we've spent this year with each vendor, grouped into Deb's categories. Build vendor_spend.xlsx from the AP export and keep the totals live - the email thread has the details.
