The Scenario

You are a ChatGPT Plus user who wants to get a quick pulse on your monthly spending or needs help building a budget based on real-time transaction data.

Before & after

The old way

Tracking personal finances manually involves exporting CSVs from banks, importing them into Excel, and categorizing transactions. This usually takes 1-2 hours per month.

With AI

Connect your financial accounts directly to ChatGPT Plus. Ask questions about your spending or budget in 1-2 minutes to get instant, grounded insights.

The Prompt

Based on my connected financial data, what are my top three spending categories this month compared to last month? Provide a brief summary of where I can save $200.

The personal finance update for Plus users allows for secure account connection, creating a grounded context for the AI to answer specific financial questions.
