Build a spending-insights app from bank transactions
Observed in the wild: you set up a Replit account and a Plaid dashboard account, then copy your client ID and secret into Replit, which stores them in a vault. Next you add Plaid as a connector and link your bank, or use sandbox data first. The post reports no results from a finished app.

Why it matters
Money tasks are tedious but high-stakes, which is exactly where a careful agent helps: it does the checking and paperwork while a person keeps the final say. It is one of 156 sightings filed under Finance on Agent Sightings (number 121 by interest), and one of 29 involving Replit Agent.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Replit Agent or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Finance task: build a spending-insights app from bank transactions. Tabulate numbers, mark uncertainties, and do not file, pay, or submit until I confirm.
Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
