Illustrative scenario · Retail customer

A household with a tight month

A household agent helps someone stay on top of bills without giving it open-ended spending authority.

See all three perspectives
  1. Morning

    An unexpected bill lands

    Maya’s agent sees that an upcoming repair bill could leave her short of the cash she set aside for rent. It shows her which payments are due and how much of a buffer she has.

  2. Midday

    The agent acts within a limit

    Maya has already authorized transfers between her own accounts up to a set amount. The agent moves enough to preserve the rent buffer. It asks before taking an action that would draw on credit.

  3. Evening

    Maya checks what happened

    She can see what moved, which permission allowed it, and what still needs her attention. She can also lower the transfer limit for next time.
