AI TRENDS | Anthropic to Launch Personal Finance Features on Claude

Anthropic announced plans to add personal finance features to Claude as the company prepares for an IPO; financial advice is one of the most common topics users ask the chatbot about. According to Sina Finance, users can connect bank accounts through financial data service Plaid and grant read-only access, which does not allow Claude to transfer or manage funds or make investments on their behalf. Anthropic said the feature is not intended to provide investment advice and that conversations in the personal finance section will not be used to train its models. OpenAI launched personal finance features in ChatGPT in May this year, after acquiring personal finance startups Hiro and Roi.
