Automating so many terrible chores with AI. Recently I automated pulling transactions from my banks (Canada, no open banking..) and putting them into Actual Budget. SimpleFIN or Plaid type services frequently break, make mistakes or require reauth every few hours for the banks here which makes them not so useful. Now I'm automating computing my taxes fully which gets pretty complicated because of international income, different assets etc. Its basically a data lake to process all kinds of financial data in various formats and compute stuff, moving lots of manual drudgery and complicated excel sheets into code.
