## Key points

- Gemini can analyse connected bank accounts.
- The feature cannot move or invest money.
- Linking accounts is optional and rolling out on web and mobile.

## Summary

Google has started rolling out an optional feature that lets Gemini users connect their bank accounts through Google Wallet. The chatbot can analyse account information to answer personal finance questions, such as spotting a subscription price rise or suggesting ways to save, but it cannot make purchases or move money.

Google says users can also request budgets for set periods, including holiday budgets, with charts showing cash flow and asset allocation. The feature is available on web and mobile, can be switched on or off in settings, and uses a partnership with Plaid for what Google describes as deeper insights, though it has not explained the details. The move comes as some other AI services explore shopping on users’ behalf.
