Alfred, the Personal Finance Management app

Personal Finance Butler for busy Millennials

Comment

Inspiration

The Financial Planning industry is broken!

The industry is low tech and was built for an older generation. Also, most Financial Planners are commission-based, thus becoming product pushers. Listed below are trends which have given rise to 3 problems:

  • Increasing distrust among Millennials, this means your Financial Planner’s INTEREST might be in CONFLICT with you.
  • The good Planners becoming way too EXPENSIVE for Millennials.
  • We are unable to get what we need, when we need it.

What it does

Alfred is your personal financial butler, guiding you through every financial situation, from managing your financial crises to growing your wealth and everything in between for the busy Millennial who prefers to be served concise and simple financial planning aids rather than spend copious amounts of time coursing through tons of information on his/her own.

How it work

  • Interact via chat a. Sign-up b. Electronically sync financials c. Understand the state of your finance d. Set financial goals

  • Get customised advice a. Get an overview of your financial situation, analyse your spending patterns and reduce expenses b. Risk appitite c. How to get to your financial goals

  • Work on bettering financial habits a. alerts when you’re close to overspending b. reminders of how much closer you’re to achieving your goals and how much progress your friends are making

  • Reach personally-set financial goals

The “secret sauce”

Unique Selling Proposition

Based on a foundation of sound financial methodology, unlike most other financial apps, our usage of chatbots, simulating real life conversations to give financial advice is our unique innovation. Others include the algorithm we build to assist in decision making and our operating processes which include human and AI elements.

Key Technical Innovation

This combination of chatbots, algorithms and operating processes are difficult to replicate.

How we built it

We will be working with

  • Chat medium: FB Messenger,
  • NLP/AI engine: DialogFlow,
  • Backend: Python Django running on an EC2 and Python scripts running on AWS Lambda
