  Smarter money. Simpler life

Inspiration

Many people struggle with managing personal finances and planning savings, spending, and debt repayment. We wanted to create a simple, interactive financial coach that helps users make informed decisions.

What it does

fAInance simulates a financial coach via a web-based chatbot. Users can ask about savings, weekly expenses, debt management, and financial goals, receiving contextual advice and budgeting suggestions.

How we built it

• Backend/Logic: Kotlin functions simulate income, expenses, savings, debt, and investments.
  
• Frontend: Basic HTML, , andTailWindCss JS for a chatbot interface.
  
• Simulation: Keyword detection generates responses based on user input.
  
• Budgeting formulas: Calculate available money, potential savings, and spending limits.

Challenges we ran into

• Simulating realistic financial advice without connecting to real banking APIs.
  
• Making the chatbot respond meaningfully to arbitrary user inputs.
  
• Building a functional web interface quickly for demonstration purposes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Created a working financial simulator in a short time.
  
• Made an interactive chatbot interface that responds in real time.
  
• Users can explore multiple scenarios for spending, saving, and investing.

What we learned

• How to simulate financial planning logic programmatically.
  
• How to build a simple interactive UI for a chatbot.
  
• How to translate financial concepts into clear, actionable advice.

What's next for fAInance

• Add more detailed scenario simulations (e.g., retirement planning).
  
• Improve natural language understanding for more flexible user queries.
  
• Include visualizations like charts for expenses and savings goals.
