Pilot vs ChatGPT: a chat that reads your accounts.

ChatGPT and general-purpose assistants give excellent advice on what you paste in. Without a connector, they don't read your accounts. Pilot does: your numbers are collected every night, its answers start from your data, and every change it proposes waits for your click.
