In Anthropic's example, Claude adds up a month's spending by category, and can point to charges that hit twice, unexpected fees or a bill that has crept up, and list payments due before payday.

The exact words it rests on

it adds up your spending across the accounts you connected and sorts it by category. In this example, that comes to $4,309.37, with more than half going to rent and utilities and $1,024.51 to food and drink. From there, you can dig deeper: "Is that more than usual?" "Anything else I'm missing?" "So what's left before payday?" Claude checks the previous months and points to a membership renewal. Then Claude tells you about four payments that will come out of your checking account before payday, and what you’ll have left: $1,393.22. If you ask whether anything looks off, Claude reads across every account you've connected and can point to what's easy to miss, like charges that hit twice, unexpected fees, or a bill that’s crept up all year.
