# Ask your agent about coffee

Updated Apr 23, 2026·2 min read

Coffee is a merchant-pattern question. Your agent searches for Starbucks, Blue Bottle, local cafes, Dunkin', etc. and totals. The classic 'do I really spend $200/mo on coffee?' question, answered.

## How the agent answers this

Your agent calls `search_transactions + get_merchant_history`.

Substring match on 'coffee', 'cafe', and brand names. Your favorite local spot might not get caught the first pass; tell the agent its name.

## Variant prompts

-   > “Coffee + cafe spending this month across every merchant.”
    
-   > “What's my average daily coffee cost?”
    
-   > “How much have I spent at Starbucks this year?”
    

## Setup

Sign in at [bankbridge.money](/login), connect your bank, paste the pre-filled snippet into your agent of choice (see [setup guide](/guides/how-to-connect-your-bank-to-claude)), then ask one of the prompts above.
