# How Concierge Analyzes Spend

Concierge may proactively review workspace activity to identify spending patterns, highlight notable changes, and surface useful insights.

These analyses are powered by the same data and reporting engine used in **Insights**, but are surfaced automatically by Concierge instead of requiring you to run reports manually.

To explore and analyze spend on demand, [learn how to use Insights](https://help.expensify.com/articles/new-expensify/insights/How-to-Use-Insights-in-Expensify).

AI readiness violation: The article must include at least one "How to..." heading (per HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md Section 6). Currently, none of the ## headings use the "How to" format. Consider rephrasing one heading, for example:

  • ## What kinds of analyses will Concierge share? could remain as-is (valid question word)
  • But at least one heading should follow the "How to..." pattern, e.g. ## How to interpret Concierge spend analyses or similar.


You might see messages that:

- Highlight changes in spending over time
- Call out large or unusual purchases
- Surface trends across categories, merchants, or members
- Identify concentrated areas of spend
- Ask questions to help clarify or validate patterns

These analyses are generated automatically using your workspace data. The format, frequency, and content of these messages may change over time as we continue improving how Concierge analyzes and presents information.

When Concierge analyzes spend, it sends a message to the #admins room for that workspace. The message is visible to all members of that room.

Insights are shared periodically and may vary in timing, format, and level of detail.

Heading rules violation: All ## headings must start with an action verb or question word (How, What, Where, Who, Why, When) in a task-based format. "How Concierge spend analyses relate to Insights" reads as a topic description rather than a task or question. Consider rephrasing to be more clearly task-based:

## How Concierge spend analyses relate to Insights

Concierge and **Insights** use the same underlying data but serve different purposes:

- Concierge proactively delivers relevant insights based on notable patterns.
