## Resource

AI tools seem to be everywhere right now. It’s only natural to wonder if human financial planning is still worth it, especially as new platforms promise smarter automation and fee compression. I dig into how much the landscape has changed in just months, share behind-the-scenes stories about testing OpenAI, Claude, and emerging tools like Hazel, and get real about what AI can (and absolutely can’t) do for students, professionals, and families with complex needs. Along the way, we talk about value beyond the spreadsheet — how emotional tradeoffs, life planning, and actual human connection still matter, even as the numbers-crunching gets faster and sharper. Key moments: (01:06) Testing OpenAI and Claude for real-world financial planning tasks — and what surprised me most (05:45) How AI-driven “margin killers” impacted Wall Street valuations for custodians and advisors (13:05) Where AI falls short: sycophantic answers and the critical human element in life decisions (16:26) Real examples of balancing emotional, family, and financial goals that AI just can’t handle Resources mentioned: Hazel by Altruist: https://altruist.com/hazel There’s no one-size-fits-all for wealth.
