Inspiration
In Tunisia, poverty and unemployment remain persistent challenges, affecting countless families and individuals. Witnessing the economic struggles firsthand, we felt a strong desire to create a solution that could empower people to manage their finances better and build a brighter future. The alarming statistics of poverty-related suicides and financial instability drove us to innovate and take action.
What it does
AvaRich is a mobile application that acts as a personal AI financial coach. It provides users with personalized financial strategies, real-time data insights, and adaptive learning based on user behavior. AvaRich helps individuals track their expenses, optimize budgets, and receive tailored financial education to improve their financial literacy and stability.
How we built it
- Frontend – We designed an intuitive and user-friendly mobile app interface that simplifies financial data input.
- Backend – AvaRich leverages Python for data preprocessing and connects to real-time APIs for live financial data extraction.
- AI Model– We fine-tuned OLLAMA on financial datasets to ensure accurate and dynamic financial recommendations based on Hexabot.
- Architecture – A RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system powers AvaRich’s learning mechanism, continuously evolving based on user input and financial trends.
- Prototype – Our working prototype includes app code and a workflow powered by Hexabot.
Challenges we ran into
Network Connection Speed:
- Data Complexity – Processing and integrating diverse financial data in real-time was a significant challenge.
