AI Money Manager Chatbot

  The chatbot

Inspiration

We wanted to help people manage their money and finances.

What it does

It is a chatbot that allows people to have a always readily financial outlook. It gives people a savings goal and shows their events, which they can then write a budget for. They can also see if they can buy several things without going past their savings goal. Finally, they can tell whether you are paying more than average for some utilities.

How I built it

We wrote some dialog to make a chatbot on dialogflow, and sent the information it gathered to Javascript. We used this to generate a response and add things to google calendar, and do calculations based on savings.

Challenges I ran into

It was pretty hard to connect to Google Calendar API, and it took a lot of different approaches. We also had to restructure the code to be able to respond to all three parts of the chatbot differently.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are very proud of finally getting the connection to Google Calendar API working permanently. We are also proud of making the chatbot fully functioning.

What I learned

We learned how authentication with APIs work, and i also learned how personal finance works.

What's next for AI Money Manager Chatbot

We could add functionality for Google Home and Alexa in the future. We could also add different events into it, and maybe somehow connect to a site like paypal to automatically pay.
