Google has announced that Gemini can now connect to users' bank accounts through Google Wallet, part of its Personal Intelligence feature. The integration lets Gemini answer personal finance questions, build budgets with cash-flow charts, and flag issues like subscription price hikes, but it can only read account data, not move or invest money. The opt-in feature is rolling out now on web and mobile, with Google also partnering with fintech firm Plaid.

Anthropic also says its tool carries no ads or financial products, while OpenAI is testing ads on cheaper tiers and plans to expand ChatGPT Finances through a partnership with Intuit.

Stoke Money is a new personal finance app that syncs bank accounts via Plaid and lets users manually add accounts it can't reach. It builds a forward-looking cash flow forecast that accounts for credit card purchases on the day they're made and projects the actual cash payment on each card's due date. A paid Pro tier adds an MCP connection so external AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT can read and, with permission, act on a user's financial data.
