If you try to just copy and paste that text into an AI, it usually gets confused by the weird symbols and tags, leading to wrong numbers or missed transactions. This Connector fixes that by acting as a secure bridge between your bank's files and your AI client. It takes the raw export and extracts just the important stuff—dates, amounts, and descriptions—turning it into a clean list that any agent can understand instantly. Because it runs entirely on your own machine, your private financial data never leaves your computer. You get to keep your privacy while letting your AI do the heavy lifting of categorizing spending or calculating totals. You can figure out your monthly burn rate or get a summary of what you spent on groceries without the risk of cloud leaks. It's one of the many tools available in the Vinkius catalog that makes it easy to connect your local data to your favorite AI tools safely. You don't have to worry about how to clean up the data or how to format it; the Connector does the work so you can just ask your agent questions about your money. It's about getting the answers you need without the manual labor of data preparation or the anxiety of sharing your bank details with a web service. ## Tools ### parse_ofx_bank_statement Converts your bank's OFX or QFX export into a clean JSON list of transactions.
