    @Finances Check my finances for the last 30 days. Show me my spending, savings, account balances and growth, and anything unusual.
    @Finances Check my finances for the last 30 days. Show me my spending, savings, account balances and growth, and anything unusual.

    Before you start

    In ChatGPT Work on the web, open Finances in the sidebar, add the Finances plugin, and connect your financial accounts. You can then use @Finances to check your accounts. Finances is not available in the desktop app.

    Finances is read-only: it can review your connected accounts, but it cannot move money, pay bills, cancel subscriptions, make trades, or change your account settings. Financial data can be incomplete or categorized incorrectly, so verify anything that needs your attention.

    What to expect

    Start by asking for a review of the last 30 days, including changes to your spending and savings and anything unusual. Then ask for a daily check and a short report every two weeks.

    Example result

    In the last 30 days, spending totaled $4,280, savings increased by $820, and combined cash and investment balances grew by $930. Dining increased compared with the previous month. An unfamiliar $42 charge and a possible duplicate subscription renewal need review.

    As a follow-up, ask for daily alerts when something needs attention and a short report every two weeks. Connected financial accounts are read-only.
