OpenAI website<\/a>, the company explains the new feature in preview right now. It lets you connect ChatGPT to your bank account, giving your AI assistant the ability to take a peek at your finances. On the website, OpenAI shows two examples of someone asking ChatGPT, “Help me come up with a plan to save a little bit more in the next few months,” one where the finances tool is not connected, and one where it is<\/p>\nThe chat without the financial data is good, but because ChatGPT doesn’t know about the user’s financial data, it has to settle for giving general advice. In comparison, the advice it gives when it has access to the user’s data means it can sum up the user’s expenditures and give personalised tips based on what they spend money on.<\/p>\n
It’s useful, but the very idea of giving a chatbot access to your financial records is enough to make a privacy advocate’s toes curl. Fortunately, if you’re worried that ChatGPT will start investing in stocks while you’re asleep, OpenAI says that its AI won’t have that much power:<\/p>\n
Your financial data is sensitive, and we have built this experience to respect your privacy and ensure that you\u2019re in control of your information.<\/p>\n
When you connect your accounts, ChatGPT can access your balances, transactions, investments, and liabilities to help visualize your finances or answer your questions. It cannot see full account numbers or make any changes to your accounts. <\/p>\n
While I can imagine some people still not feeling great about using this new financial tool, the truth is that, if people are already uploading records and statements to the AI for help, attaching their account to ChatGPT basically cuts out a few steps to achieve the same result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary ChatGPT can connect to your bank to view balances, transactions, investments, and liabilities.
