According to Decrypt, Anthropic has introduced a personal finance assistant feature for its Claude model that analyzes spending from linked accounts in the United States. Anthony Pompliano, founder of the startup Singularity University, has publicly accused Anthropic of copying elements from his company’s work in the same domain. Pompliano stated that his startup developed a similar functionality prior to Anthropic’s release. The finance assistant enables users to connect financial accounts to receive insights about spending habits, budgeting suggestions, and transaction summaries. No details about development timelines, technical implementation, or user volume were provided. Pompliano’s accusation centers on the functional similarity between his startup’s tool and Anthropic’s new feature, though no legal action has been mentioned. Anthropic has not commented on the claim. The announcement of the finance assistant feature marks a new direction for Claude in supporting everyday financial decision‑making.
