Why it matters

OpenAI is moving ChatGPT from answering money questions to reading connected bank, card, investment and credit data, putting a general-purpose assistant in direct competition with dedicated budgeting apps and, as of November 5th, Anthropic's Claude. The read-only boundary limits the damage from a wrong answer, but the product still asks users to hand their most sensitive financial records to an AI system in exchange for analysis they could previously get only from finance-specific software.
