has an open API now.
…it was just only looking at, I don't know, transactions in the bank account rather than what's in the books. And I was like, why am I doing this? Like, why am I doing the bookkeeping and the categorizing and I don't know, thinking if then the AI is. Even using any of the data. But what I see now,
people even do is like, because in Claude now, you can open Chrome inside of Claude and it's like a separate sandbox version of Chrome instead of having Claude run in your Chrome. And then the first thing it asks is to import all of your sessions. I was like, no, we're not importing all of the sessions. But I have seen people then, you know, log into their bank even or their accounting system and then have Claude kind of like upload all the papers you need or whatever. Like it clicks through the system. So even the accounting systems now that, you know, they're like, oh, we don't want AI. We're not going to have an API. Yeah, well, you have an API. It's just your interface.
Yep. Yep. For sure.
And I heard this one conference guy, he said, and this is super illegal. He said he even has given his agent access to his bank ID, which is like the one kind of auth that gets you into any inner region, you know, public system, health system, tax system, bank, that kind of thing, because he's…
Right. Yeah. Thanks. No, thanks. I'm out of here. No.
