The short version

ChatGPT with connected accounts is a general assistant with your bank feed. IOMI is a wealth platform with an assistant: your whole balance sheet — business entities, real estate, private positions, collectibles — computed by a deterministic engine and explained in plain English.

OpenAI's personal finance experience syncs banks and brokerages through Plaid, remembers your goals, and answers questions about your spending. For a checking-account life, that's genuinely useful.

But founder wealth doesn't live in checking accounts. It lives in company equity, real estate, private positions, and the assets no bank feed returns. ChatGPT stops at what Plaid can see — and everything it tells you on top of that data is generated by a general model, not computed by an engine.
