What happened
Anthropic has launched a beta "Personal Finance" tool for Claude, allowing paid US users to connect their bank and credit card accounts via Plaid in read-only mode. The feature enables users to query their transaction history, categorize spending, identify unusual fees, and calculate interest costs without the data being used to train AI models.
