Designing AI Financial Health Tools for GPay

🎯 Objectives:

• Enhance users' financial well-being through AI-driven tools.
• Provide personalized financial insights and recommendations to improve saving and spending habits.
• Increase engagement by offering features that help users better manage their finances within the payment app.

🔧 Feature:

AI Financial Health Tools will analyze user transactions, spending patterns, and income to provide insights and recommendations. These tools will focus on improving financial literacy, managing budgets, and offering tailored advice on savings and spending.

⭐️ Proposed Solution:

The AI Financial Health Tools will use machine learning algorithms to:

• Analyze transaction history and categorize expenses automatically.
• Provide users with personalized insights into their financial health, including spending trends, savings recommendations, and budget suggestions.
• Offer monthly and yearly reports, helping users track progress and make adjustments.
• Suggest tailored goals (e.g., saving for a vacation, paying off debt).
• Introduce AI-powered alerts that notify users when they are exceeding their budget or spending excessively in certain categories.

📜 User Stories/Use Cases:

• User Story 1: As a user, I want to see a breakdown of my spending habits so I can understand where I’m overspending and where I can save.

• User Story 3: As a user, I want AI-generated insights on upcoming large payments or financial risks based on my spending pattern, so I can better plan.
• User Story 4: As a user, I want to receive alerts when my spending in a specific category (e.g., dining, shopping) exceeds my preset limits, so I can adjust my behavior.

🎯 Target Audience:

• Young professionals and millennials seeking better control over their finances.
• Users with frequent cash flow, including freelancers, small business owners, or gig workers.
