Summary
Link has introduced a new feature called Financial Insights, enabling agents to provide personalized shopping recommendations based on customers' recent purchases from their connected credit cards and bank accounts. This feature enhances the agent's capabilities by allowing them to answer questions about customer spending and track financial trends using data securely shared by the customers. To utilize this feature, businesses must have OAuth set up and use the @stripe/link-cli to access live transaction and balance data, as there is no sandbox environment available for testing. Additionally, customers have control over the access to their account information and can revoke permissions at any time through the Link app.
