Analyze budgets and research investments from bank data
One practitioner notes that the poster says they use WisePenny to pipe transaction data from their bank accounts into ChatGPT without handing over bank logins or broad third-party permissions, then use Claude for the analysis work. In the thread they describe powered by Claude to build budgets from spending history, summarize and compare companies’ financial reports, and help research investments rather than directly controlling accounts. The source gives no hard performance numbers; it presents this as a practical read-and-analyze workflow.

Why it matters
Money tasks are tedious but high-stakes, which is exactly where a careful agent helps: it does the checking and paperwork while a person keeps the final say. It is one of 65 sightings filed under Finance on Agent Sightings (number 49 by interest), and one of 29 involving ChatGPT.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into ChatGPT or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Finance task: analyze budgets and research investments from bank data. Tabulate numbers, mark uncertainties, and do not file, pay, or submit until I confirm.
Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
