I’m not necessarily interested in the traditional full budgeting and planning type stuff, but more like “AI take all these statements and tell me how to save money” purpose built tools. Anyone used anything they’d suggest?

(And to hopefully head off any unhelpful answers like I got on Reddit, I am not trying to have an AI manage my money, nor am I talking about just a wrapper for ChatGPT. AI in the broad sense of the term that can be intelligently used as part of larger programmatic workflows.)

Edit: For anyone actually trying to understand the possible applications, I found this: https://midday.ai/updates/automatic-reconciliation-engine/. The product is overkill for the sort of personal use I was asking about, but this article does a good job of showing the why and how.

    that would require sitting down and manually doing that for every conceivable payee

    That’s just called VLOOKUP(). I think you’re over-complicating this process. If you sit down and look at your finances, you’ll notice that the number of payees you have isn’t some absurd unmanageable amount. As others have mentioned, there’s no real use case for involving AI this way. There’s no scale, no real benefit to financial tracking, etc. I get this is just to use AI for the sake of using AI, but that’s not really a goal when writing financial software.
