Guardian seeks readers' experiences using AI agents for finances
AI agents can now help with money matters, and The Guardian wants to hear from people who have tried this. The invitation follows the release of two AI tools, Meta's Muse and OpenAI's dots, which the publication says have added the ability for AI agents to carry out certain financial transactions on a user's behalf. An AI agent is software that can act somewhat independently to complete tasks, rather than just answering questions. The Guardian is collecting first-hand accounts of how people are using these agents to manage budgets, payments or other financial decisions, as this kind of automated financial assistance becomes more common.
