Short answer

How can I manage my linked accounts using AI?

Your agent uses Yodlee to check balances, update credentials when they expire, and delete accounts you no longer use. You get a clean, up-to-date view of your finances.

Account management outcomes

What your agent handles

The specific ways your agent interacts with your financial data.

SYNC

Live balance monitoring

The AI pulls current data from your connected institutions. You see the actual numbers in your chat interface.

REPAIR

Automatic credential updates

When a connection breaks, the agent refreshes the link. This keeps your data flowing without manual re-authentication.

CLEANUP

Removing old accounts

The agent wipes connections to closed or irrelevant accounts. This keeps your financial overview accurate.

HUMAN

Manual oversight required

The AI cannot move money or change your bank passwords. You still control the actual movement of funds.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent follows a specific sequence to keep your data accurate.

  1. Inventorying accounts

    The agent first identifies every active connection currently tied to your Yodlee profile.

    list_accounts

  2. Inspecting specific data

    Once it finds the right account, the agent pulls the specific details or balances you asked for.

    get_account

  3. Fixing broken links

    If a connection is stale, the agent updates the provider credentials to restore the data stream.

    update_provider_account

  4. Purging old data

    The agent removes any account you no longer want the AI to track.

    delete_account

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can my AI move money between my accounts?

    No. The agent can only read data and manage the connections themselves.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my bank password?

    No. The agent can update connection credentials through Yodlee, but it cannot change your actual banking login credentials.

  • 03

    How often does the AI check my balances?

    The AI checks balances whenever you ask it to or when you trigger a refresh command.

  • 04

    Can I undo a deleted account?

    No. Once the agent deletes an account connection, you will have to re-authenticate that account manually to bring it back.

  • 05

    Is my banking data visible to Vinkius?

    No. Your login credentials stay encrypted and are handled through the Yodlee connection.
