You can now set up Gemini’s Google Wallet integration for ‘personal finance insights’

As we spotted in September, the Gemini app is adding Google Wallet integration in the US that makes possible “responses informed by your spending habits.” In the Gemini app, @Google Wallet allows you to: Visualize spending: Questions like “can we review my spending from last quarter so I can save $1,000 over the next three months?” enable Gemini to generate dynamic charts tracking cash flow, asset allocation, and budgets directly in your chat. Find forgotten subscriptions: If you ask “what subscriptions am I still paying for, and did any of them go up in price this year?” Gemini finds recurring charges across your linked accounts and flags price increases. Budget for the holidays: When you ask “how much did I spend on gifts and travel last year? Use that to help me set a holiday budget for this year,” Gemini will look at your transactions from the last year and suggest a budget tailored to you. The interactive visualizations (seen above) are quite cool. This integration leverages third-party service Plaid to “securely link your financial accounts from your credit cards and banks” to Google Wallet. On the privacy front, this integration is read-only, with Gemini not able to “move, manage, or invest your money.” You decide if and when you want to opt in to this experience, and you can turn the connection on or off at any time.

To get started, go to Customize > Connectors or gemini.google.com/customize/connectors. Google bills this as an expansion of Personal Intelligence, which already taps into Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube to customize responses. The company today also highlighted the launch of Memory Summary from earlier this week. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. More.
