OpenAI just released new personal finance features for ChatGPT customers

OpenAI is catching up with some competitors and offering new personal finance features inside ChatGPT. The new personal finance experience is rolling out starting today for some subscribers.

The enhanced personal finance experience lets you connect ChatGPT to your financial accounts

“Today we’re releasing a preview of a new personal finance experience in ChatGPT to Pro users in the U.S.,” OpenAI announced.

“Now you can securely connect your financial accounts, see a dashboard of where your money is going, and ask ChatGPT questions grounded in your financial context – all while staying in control of your data.”

OpenAI is limiting the release for now so it can “learn from real-world use, improve the experience, and expand thoughtfully.”

ChatGPT Pro subscribers with access can start by connecting a financial account to the app.

To get started, open Finances from the sidebar in ChatGPT and select ‘Get started’ or start a conversation from anywhere in ChatGPT by saying ‘@Finances, connect my accounts’. 

ChatGPT will then guide you through securely linking accounts through Plaid, with Intuit support coming soon. After you authenticate, ChatGPT will begin syncing and categorizing your data, which may take a few minutes.

ChatGPT will present a personal finance dashboard that can show up-to-date data around spending, subscriptions, upcoming payments, and portfolio performance.

Users can also provide important context to ChatGPT, like financial goals to keep in mind.

Financial data can be removed at any time. OpenAI also provides controls for removing personal finance information from ChatGPT’s memory feature. The company says private chats in ChatGPT will not use personal finance data.

The feature requires ChatGPT Pro, which costs $100/month. OpenAI’s $20/month ChatGPT Plus subscription doesn’t support the new personal finance experience yet.
