Connect your finances. ChatGPT can now analyze your spending, subscriptions, and income to deliver personalized money-saving advice.
Spot easy savings. Use AI to find forgotten subscriptions, spending leaks, and realistic ways to cut your monthly expenses.
Trust, but verify. AI is a helpful financial coach, but major tax, retirement, and investment decisions still deserve professional advice.
For some time now, many consumers have been comfortable using ChatGPT to build budgets, compare mortgage payments, and explain investing.
Now, it can do something much more personal that can really help you get ahead financially.
OpenAI has begun rolling out a new feature that lets users securely connect their financial accounts to ChatGPT using Plaid, giving the AI access to spending patterns, recurring bills, income, and account balances. The goal is to provide more personalized financial insights instead of generic budgeting advice.
While the feature is initially available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, it offers a glimpse into where personal finance tools are headed. Here's what it can do, where it can help, and where you should still be cautious.
What ChatGPT can actually see
After securely connecting your accounts through Plaid, ChatGPT can categorize transactions and identify spending patterns across thousands of financial institutions.
Instead of simply asking, "How can I save money?" you can now ask questions based on your actual finances, such as:
"Where am I spending the most money each month?"
"How much am I really spending on restaurants?"
"Which subscriptions am I paying for but rarely use?"
"How much did I spend on groceries last year?"
"How much could I save if I cut dining out by 20%?"
The big takeaway here is that instead of AI spewing out some generic personal finance advice, ChatGPT can now answer questions using your actual financial data.
Find subscriptions you've forgotten about
One of the easiest ways to save money is identifying recurring charges, some of which you may have completely forgotten about.
Instead of scrolling through months of statements looking for them, simply ask:
"List every recurring subscription I pay for."
"Which subscriptions increased in price this year?"
"Show me subscriptions I haven't used recently."
