Summary
OpenAI’s new Finances feature lets U.S. ChatGPT Plus and Pro users link bank, credit, loan and investment accounts through Plaid, then query real transaction data inside ChatGPT.
Plaid acts as the connection layer, while ChatGPT can analyze spending, subscriptions, debt, cash flow and portfolio allocation after syncing, which may take several minutes or longer.
The dashboard surfaces balances, bills, recent transactions and preloaded prompts such as cutting fees or modeling an extra $200 monthly debt payment.
OpenAI says ChatGPT cannot move money or view full account numbers, and users can disconnect the feature in Settings, with synced financial data deleted within 30 days.
