ChatGPT is excellent for learning about personal finance and getting general advice, but it cannot access your financial data or automatically track expenses. hilm.ai is purpose-built for expense tracking and provides personalized insights based on your actual spending patterns. Many users find value in using both: ChatGPT for education and hilm.ai for actual money management.
