OpenAI lets ChatGPT access bank accounts

OpenAI is introducing a new feature allowing ChatGPT Pro subscribers to securely connect their bank accounts via Plaid. This integration aims to provide users with a comprehensive financial overview, enabling them to ask detailed questions about spending, budgeting, and future financial planning. The move leverages the growing trend of users seeking financial advice from AI, with millions already querying ChatGPT about personal finance monthly. OpenAI's acquisition of the Hiro team, specializing in personal finance, likely contributed to this development, enhancing ChatGPT's reasoning capabilities for sensitive financial data.
