Pane – Give your AI access to your financial data via MCP
Hey HN! Today I'm launching Pane, a tool that gives AI context on your financial data. Once connected, any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.) can answer questions like: - "What did I spend on food this month?" - "What's my net worth right now?" - "Show me my recurring subscriptions" - "How much do I owe across all credit cards?" - "What are my investment holdings?" It's been really transformative in helping me and some of my friends understand their finances, where they are overspending, or even being double billed in some cases. I'm very aware that this is a somewhat…
In plain words
Pane is a tool that connects personal financial data to AI assistants through the MCP protocol, allowing users to query information across multiple accounts. It works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other compatible clients to answer questions about spending patterns, net worth, subscriptions, debts, and investments. The tool aims to help users identify overspending and billing issues by giving AI systems access to their banking and financial information.

Hey HN! Today I'm launching Pane, a tool that gives AI context on your financial data. Once connected, any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.) can answer questions like: - "What did I spend on food this month?" - "What's my net worth right now?" - "Show me my recurring subscriptions" - "How much do I owe across all credit cards?" - "What are my investment holdings?" It's been really transformative in helping me and some of my friends understand their finances, where they are overspending, or even being double billed in some cases. I'm very aware that this is a somewhat controversial idea. Banking data is an extremely personal set of data and connecting it with something that in many cases can hallucinate and is often hosted by a third party is understandably concerning. Many people already do this by uploading billing statements, CSV's, etc. And this product is definitely for those early adopters, myself included. I'm really interested to hear some of the feedback from this community regarding this idea. I totally understand this is not for everyone, but if you do let it into your life I believe it can have a positive impact on your relationship with money. If you'd like to give it a try, use code `HACKERNEWS` for 50% off your first month. If you try it and decide it is not for you within the first week, please reach out to [email protected] and I can set you up with a refund. Excited to hear feedback, critique, thoughts - everything :~)

Some technical context on what we ran into building this. MCP tools don't really work for financial data at scale. One tool call for five years of daily prices dumps tens of thousands of tokens into the context window. And data vendors pack dozens of tools into a single MCP server, schemas alone can eat 50k+ tokens before the agent does anything useful. So we auto-generate typed Python modules from the MCP schemas at workspace init and upload them into the sandbox. The agent just imports them like a normal library. Only a one-line summary per server stays in the prompt. We have around 80…

A while back, I built a simple app to track stocks. It pulled market data and generated daily reports based on my risk tolerance. Basically a personal investment assistant. It worked well enough that I kept going. Now, the same framework helps me with real estate: comparing neighborhoods, checking flood risk, weather patterns, school zones, old vs. new builds, etc. It’s a messy, multi-variable decision—which turns out to be a great use case for AI agents. Instead of ChatGPT or Grok 4, I use mcp-agent, which lets me build a persistent, multi-agent system that pulls live data, remembers my…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
