PLAID X OPENAI BRING PERSONALIZED FINANCIAL GUIDANCE TO CHATGPT
(SPONSOR) [4]
86% of surveyed users say AI helps them better understand their
money, but most tools still aren't built around real financial
context. With the new personal finance experience in ChatGPT [4], they
can now get guidance around spending, saving, and cash flow—all
powered by Plaid.
When people connect their financial accounts with Plaid, ChatGPT can
answer questions about their finances based on their real financial
situation, goals and everyday decisions. The experience is protected
with industry-leading safeguards and users stay in control. [4]
This new experience in ChatGPT is part of a shift toward intelligent finance—where AI, secure data connectivity, and consumer trust come
together to help people make more informed financial decisions.
