Problem
Most people lack clarity about where their money actually goes each month—daily coffee purchases, forgotten subscriptions, and small discretionary spending accumulate without visibility. Traditional budgeting tools show charts but fail to explain the meaning behind spending patterns or surface specific optimization opportunities. Individuals often miss actionable insights like redundant subscriptions, high-interest debt paired with low-yield savings, or unused services silently draining funds.
Solution

Users interact conversationally by asking questions—"Ask Franklin anything"—and receive specific, quantified recommendations like "You have three unused subscriptions costing $47/month; cancel these and you'll save $564 this year." Franklin also analyzes debts, investments, and liabilities to give a complete financial picture, delivering insights through a web dashboard and mobile app.
