Your Talk

Title: Building a Smart Dashboard for Your Amazon Shopping Habits with Retool and Google Sheets

What your talk is about: Have you ever wondered how much you spent shopping on Amazon?

My wife and I became parents last year, and that meant a lot of baby related shopping on Amazon. As these little brown boxes piled up, we started wondering how much we'd spent on Amazon in general, and on baby supplies in particular. What categories did we spend the most on? What was our biggest baby-related expense?

I thought it would be pretty cool if there was some sort of dashboard that would be give me insights of our Amazon shopping for the year.

In this session, I'll walk you through how I built this dashboard using a combination of Google Sheets, Retool, and even a splash of ChatGPT.
