Educational Purpose Only Would you actually consider this?

Personally I could never justify letting ChatGPT anywhere near my bank info but I’m guessing some people have already done this 😬

Is is though because your data isn’t just going to plaid now it’s going to chat for, which also knows all the personal things you tell it in your chat history too. It knows everything about you and all of your spending habits and what you consume, how much you make, how you live , etc 

I just used Claud to make my own app that tracks my finances he way I like. Because no automated service can properly allocate each transaction into the best categories anyway, you need some manual input.

I'm working on my own app as well, but I haven't yet gotten to the part where I can automate any of the input. How are you handling that?

I download my statement pdfs then upload them, you can extract the PDFs locally without an ai api, but with it will be a little easier and you won’t have to code it to handle diffent formats -and you can use ai to sort categories too, if needed just take out the page with your personal info or black it out. Some banks let you download a spreadsheet too. Then I have a review section where I can change the categories as I want
