“money management, automated reports, easily, connect with all worldwide banks and suggest invetsments”

“Congratulations, you just reinvented Mint, which already died so you don't have to.”
An AI agent that connects to global bank accounts, auto-generates financial reports, and suggests personalized investments based on spending patterns and portfolio goals.
This is the 'I want to build a social network' of fintech. Every major player from Mint to Personal Capital to Revolut has attempted this exact combination. The 'worldwide banks' part alone is a multi-year regulatory odyssey across PSD2, Open Banking UK, and 50 other frameworks. Investment suggestions trigger SEC/FCA adviser regulations in most countries.

How They'll Do It
ChatGPT already connects to Plaid via plugins. When they ship a native 'Financial Agent' GPT with memory, bank sync, and investment suggestions baked into ChatGPT Plus, your entire product becomes a $20/mo upsell they bundle for free.
Your Survival Strategy
Niche down hard — pick ONE country, ONE user persona (e.g., freelancers in Germany), and go so deep on local tax law and local banks that OpenAI can't be bothered to care about you.
