Show HN: We built a GPT that connects to your money (opens in new tab)

Hey HN,

OpenAI announced their GPT Store a few months ago during their dev day. It captured our imagination and got us wondering:

What if ChatGPT could manage my money?

We're thrilled to share a public preview of what's possible today. It's a simple idea. You can ask your money questions or run actions all through ChatGPT.

How does it work?

We provide the GPT with a fine-tuned prompt and a schema of what is possible, and it generates a response after talking to your linked accounts in Candle.

All through push notifications because our connections run 100% on the device.

Liam and I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

I don't want to give ChatGPT access to my accounts, and my wife would feel even more strongly about this. For people who feel this way, allowing them to upload a CSV file of positions (no account numbers) could be an alternative way for them to use your program.

(I'm the co-founder/CTO) Understand your pov, to give you a little more context, our connections are 100% on-device (we don't use Plaid) and we don't have any access to your data. When ChatGPT accesses your accounts, it goes through your device to do so. We're planning on adding even more configuration options to that process, so that e.g. ChatGPT can't pull your account numbers or anything else you block.

Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good idea & something we'll think about more.
