AI Finance Assistant on WhatsApp

FinChat is the WhatsApp finance assistant built into BudgetOS. Send a text, voice note, or paper receipt photo, and FinChat automatically records, categorizes, and syncs your expenses in real time.

Overview: Finance Logged Where You Already Chat

90% of personal finance friction comes from remembering to open a dedicated budgeting app. FinChat eliminates that barrier by putting your financial ledger right inside WhatsApp.

Whether you're standing at a supermarket checkout, driving home, or splitting dinner with friends, send a quick text message or 10-second voice note to FinChat. Your ledger stays perfectly updated without opening another app.

Key FinChat Capabilities

  • Voice Note Logging: Speak naturally in English, Sinhala, or Tamil. FinChat transcribes audio, extracts payment accounts, and categorizes vendors.
  • WhatsApp Receipt OCR: Take a photo of any receipt and drop it in your WhatsApp chat. FinChat extracts total amounts and line items automatically.
  • Two-Way Synchronization: Edits made on WhatsApp update your iOS/Android/Web app instantly. Edits made in the app reflect on WhatsApp.
  • Custom Rule Learning: Tell FinChat once that "Keells = Groceries" or "Fuel = Transport", and it remembers for all future transactions.
  • Family WhatsApp Groups: Include FinChat in household WhatsApp group chats so spouses and family members can log shared spending together.
