Gemini adds Google Wallet connection for spending insights in the US
The optional integration uses Plaid to connect financial accounts and is read-only, with no ability to move or invest money.
Google is adding a Wallet connection to Gemini for US users, allowing the AI app to use financial account data in responses about spending and budgets. The feature is available through Gemini’s web version and its apps for Android and iOS.
The connection uses Plaid, a third-party service, to link bank and credit card accounts to Google Wallet. Participation is optional, and users can enable or disable the connection at any time. Access is read-only: Gemini cannot move, manage or invest money.
Supported tasks include creating interactive charts of cash flow, budgets and asset allocation within a conversation. Gemini can also identify recurring subscription charges across connected accounts, flag price increases and use previous transactions to suggest a holiday budget.
The Wallet option appears under Customize, then Connectors. Google describes the addition as an expansion of Personal Intelligence, which already draws on Gmail, Photos, Search and YouTube to personalize responses.
