Plaid

Making personal finance feel effortless takes more than AI alone; it requires financial data that’s accurate, current, and reliable. That’s why Piere turned to Plaid for stronger connectivity, consistently refreshed balance data, and the foundation to power smarter, more agentic money experiences. Since implementing Plaid, the company has cut both user complaints about account disconnections and requests for missing institutions by more than half.

We just wrapped Plaiderdays XXIII, our latest company-wide hackathon, and wow, this one was something special. 🚀 This year’s Plaiderdays was about using AI to launch an incredible wave of creativity across the company. We saw 100+ projects presented, spanning everything from bold, experimental ideas to scrappy builds that sparked entirely new ways of thinking. A few of the winning themes: ✨ Using AI to proactively detect and fix issues before they happen ✨ Reimagining developer tools and sandbox experiences ✨ Turning financial data into smarter, more actionable insights ✨ And even some delightfully chaotic (and hilarious) builds What stood out most was the mindset behind it all. Moving fast, collaborating across teams, and turning ideas into real products in just a few days. Excited to see how this momentum carries forward into what we build next for our customers and network. 💡
