ChatGPT launches personal finance tools, connects bank accounts

OpenAI has previewed new personal finance tools for ChatGPT Pro users in the U.S., enabling them to link bank accounts through Plaid for detailed financial analysis. This feature allows users to query their spending habits, portfolio performance, and upcoming payments, with support for over 12,000 financial institutions planned. The development follows OpenAI's acquisition of the personal finance startup Hiro, bolstering its expertise in the financial sector. This expansion into specialized AI tools, similar to health-focused offerings, addresses the increasing user demand for AI assistance with sensitive data like personal finances.
