Anthropic launches beta personal finance tool for Claude in the United States
Anthropic begins beta testing a personal finance feature for its Claude chatbot this week, offering read‑only access to linked bank and card accounts via Plaid for Pro, Max and Ultra plan subscribers in the United States. The tool can display balances, transaction history up to two years, and generate spending overviews, while flagging duplicate charges and unexpected fees. It does not move, manage, or invest money, provide credit, loans, or investment advice, and contains no ads or sponsored content. Conversations are not used for model training.
