Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Finance Data tool:
- Ask: "What are the current EUR/USD and GBP/USD rates?"
- ChatGPT returns live rates with context
- Ask: "I need to pay a €200,000 invoice — what does it cost in USD today?"
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Finance Data tool
I need to pay a supplier invoice of €150,000. What is the current EUR/USD rate and what will this cost in USD? Has the euro moved significantly against the dollar in the past two weeks?
Tips
- Ask for rate context alongside the conversion — knowing if a rate is near a recent high or low informs timing
- Request a range of rates (current, 1-week ago, 1-month ago) to assess whether to convert now or wait
- ChatGPT can help calculate hedging scenarios if you describe your currency exposure
