Quik Nation has a Plaid account already set up from before the AI era. Plaid actually met with the team. The account has been sitting dormant — no product was smart enough to use it.
Clara is that product. Plaid connects to 12,000+ banks and gives Clara read access to:
- Bank balances (Wells Fargo, etc.)
- Transaction history
- Recurring bills and subscriptions
- BNPL payment schedules (visible through bank transactions)
- Cash flow data
Cost: ~0.50 per connected account per month
Action: Find Plaid credentials, check account status, activate for Clara MVP. SSM location: Check if Plaid keys are already in AWS SSM. If not, retrieve from Plaid dashboard and store.
