The problem it solves

Keeping a personal or business budget updated usually means remembering to open a spreadsheet or app every time you spend money, and most people just don't do it consistently. Without a running record, you lose track of where your money is actually going.

Who it fits

Small business owners or individuals who want an easy way to log and understand their day-to-day finances.

How it works

  1. You send a message describing an expense or income to the chat bot
  2. The AI records the transaction and assigns it a category
  3. It keeps track of your running balance
  4. You can ask for a report and receive a summary of your financial activity
What you get

Spending logged the moment you mention it

You get your income and expenses logged and categorized just by texting a chat bot, with reports on demand.

What you get

An up-to-date record of your transactions with categorized spending and balance reports on request.

What you need

A Telegram or WhatsApp account, an OpenAI account, and a PostgreSQL database such as Supabase.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
