This was your pitch, right? "product can shift from "give me an app that makes it easier to do my taxes" to "keep me current on my taxes and send me status updates"

How is that not Mint from 15 years ago? Actual integration into the US tax system is a government problem, not an LLM problem.

Now it sounds like you're suggesting more of a even-more-centralized Mint-replacement that aggregates everything for you to try to be a single AI assistant.

But do I want an LLM pulling the trigger on ordering new products for me based on what it thinks I'd want when? Or changing the investment strategy on my accounts? Not really.

"Personal assistant for keeping track of your receipts for when you need to return something" is mildly interesting except... if you're buying online, the receipt's already basically trivially to find 99% of the time. And if you're buying offline, are you scanning all the receipts by hand? And unlike a personal assistant, the LLM isn't driving to drop off those packages.

Booking transit at the same time as travel, also something that's existed for a long time. And a third party Google Calendar "hey, we see a flight here, and a hotel there, do you want us to pre-book an Uber between the two" feature would not require LLMs at all.

So what am I gaining from this super-Mint-app and how is it LLM-specific if I don't have financials that need super-heavy-oversight and I don't want to outsource my grocery and shirt shopping to a personal assistant?
