Claude gains a Personal Finance feature that links bank accounts via Plaid and analyzes users' spending.
#Anthropic#Claude#Plaid#personal finance

š„ What happened
Anthropic launched "Personal Finance" for Claude on Thursday. Users can link bank and credit card accounts via Plaid and ask the chatbot about their money ā read-only, so it can't move or invest funds.
š” Why it matters
Claude is playing catch-up to ChatGPT, which rolled out similar tools in May. The kicker: Claude scans up to two years of transactions to flag duplicate charges and creeping bills ā actual analysis, not generic advice.
ā” Our take
Finally, a finance tool that doesn't just tell you to skip the latte. But will people really hand their bank credentials to a chatbot? Anthropic has to earn that trust first.
