Personal money agents
This section covers AI agents that help a person manage everyday money: seeing balances, spotting subscriptions, moving cash. It also covers the plumbing that connects them to bank accounts, and how banks respond. Each tool has its own page with a sourced record in its YAML header. The same records are in data/programs.json.
The pages
| Page | Type | In one line |
|---|---|---|
| Meta Muse | Personal agent | Meta’s personal AI agent. People connect bank and card accounts through Plaid for money guidance.1 |
| Plaid MCP servers | Developer tools | Plaid’s MCP servers are for developer diagnostics and a sandbox coding kit, not end-user account access.2 |
| JPMorgan Smart Cash | Bank AI tool | A JPMorgan pilot that aims to predict a user’s cash flow and move funds for yield (news report).3 |
| Banks and outside agents | Topic | News reports say several big US banks block outside agents that log in with a customer’s password.45 |

How it fits together
- The agent. A personal agent, such as Muse, reads account data you choose to share.1
- The connection. A data aggregator, such as Plaid, links the agent to your bank with your permission.1 This is a form of open banking.
- The bank. Banks decide what outside agents can do. News reports say most allow read-only access at best, while some build their own AI tools.34
News reports also name other personal agents, such as Instinct, an invitation-only text-message concierge, and OpenAI’s Dots. They have no pages yet.3
