Ethan Bloch(@ebloch):This is pretty insane. I had ChatGPT audit all my transactions. It spent almost an hour, reviewed 14k transactions, and improved 700 categories! I could never do this by hand. This is on top of categorization ChatGPT and Plaid already do in the background for all your transactions. The implication is important: if you want to keep a budget or track your spending you no longer need to do manual work! Getting near perfect transaction categorization has been an unsolved problem since Quicken launched in 1984. The prompt you can use is in the screenshot. And if you’re still doing this stuff by hand, and don’t enjoy it, you should get set up with Finances in ChatGPT.
