can ai update plaid for me

Yes, with a click in between. A companion can create an user and create a sandbox public token, and it shows you the batch before anything is written to Plaid. Nothing lands unapproved.

what can strawberry actually do in plaid

Exactly what Plaid exposes and no more: create an user, create a sandbox public token, create an access token, get transactions and get real-time balance, among 5 in total, across the access tokens, real-time balances and sandbox public tokens. The full list is printed on the app's page inside Strawberry and repeated above.

That is the common case. A companion reads the access tokens your Plaid account holds, works each one against whatever else you point it at, and stages the changes for approval rather than writing them.

Plaid Strawberry

Access tokens, real-time balances and sandbox public tokens, worked for you

One sentence in, and a companion has been through the Plaid access tokens, put them where you can read them, and marked the ones it was not sure about.

Open the access token. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Plaid afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a access token until you approve it.

What it can do is exactly what Plaid exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 5 operations, 2 reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can create an user, create a sandbox public token and create an access token, and work across the access tokens, real-time balances and sandbox public tokens.

The Plaid API stops at Plaid. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.

What does it already know about your real-time balances?

2 of the 5 operations are reads.

Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can get transactions and get real-time balance, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Plaid's documentation.

The access tokens are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the real-time balances. A companion can hold all 5 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Plaid admin becomes a queue you review.

Which access tokens wait for your approval?

All 3 write operations wait for you.

A companion can create an user, create a sandbox public token and create an access token, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the access token, the field and the new value before it lands in Plaid.

Nothing in Plaid is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the access token exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Create Sandbox Public Token

Can it get transactions every morning by itself?

Yes.

Saved as a routine, the Plaid access tokens pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.

The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of store admin, the Plaid access tokens sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
