Claude Code as my personal financial coach
Thursday, January 8, 2026
Last week I had a simple idea: what if I could get weekly spending reports, with AI automatically categorizing everything and ideally with zero manual input (or as close to it as possible) So I built this Skill (or better said Claude Code build one) that’s: → Connecting to my bank via GoCardless open banking API → Pulls all transactions automatically → Categorizes spending (groceries, utilities, transport, etc.) → Calculates my actual savings rate → Shows me week-over-week comparisons
