AI Financial Coach
An AI coach with limits it cannot talk itself out of.
It reads your actual figures and explains what they mean in plain English. It will not pick your investments, and that boundary is enforced by the application, not left to the model's judgment.
Your Financial Score is free. The tools on this page are part of Premium.
Overview
The coach works from your figures and Cipili's published benchmarks, not from whatever it happens to remember. Every number it gives you is one the app computed and can reproduce.
It is also constrained in ways most AI finance tools are not. Requests for specific securities, allocations, or personalized tax and legal advice are refused and redirected to education and a licensed professional. That refusal is a code path, not a polite instruction in a prompt.
Should I pay off my card or build savings first?
With a card at 22% APR and savings earning about 4%, every $100 you put against the card avoids roughly $22 a year in interest, against about $4 earned. Most people keep a small buffer first so a surprise does not go straight back onto the card.
- Assumes
- Your entered APR, balance, and savings rate
- Confidence
- High, both figures came from you
- Alternatives
- Split the difference, or a balance transfer
Cipili is an AI tool that provides financial education and comparisons, not personalized investment, tax, or legal advice, and not a licensed fiduciary.
Key benefits
Grounded in your numbers
Answers are built from your entered figures and versioned benchmarks. Numeric claims come from the app's own calculations rather than the model's recall.
Explains, rather than pronounces
Every recommendation carries its reasoning, key assumptions, confidence, the alternatives considered, and the estimated impact in dollars or time.
Says when it does not know
Low confidence is labeled as low confidence. High-stakes questions come back with a note to verify with a licensed professional before acting.
Minimum necessary data
Only the data a given question actually needs is sent, through a single audited gateway. It is not used to train anyone's model, and it never crosses between accounts.
Personalized recommendations
The coach reads your score, your components, and your module results, and explains what is going on in your finances right now. Personalized in the sense that it reflects your situation, and explicitly not in the sense of regulated investment advice. Cipili is not a registered investment adviser and does not hold itself out as one.
AI-generated action plans
A recommendation you cannot act on is trivia. The coach turns findings into an ordered list of steps, biggest effect first, with each step showing the estimated impact and what it assumes. Steps land on your to-do list where you can work through them.
Monthly checkups
Once a month, a pass over what actually changed: which components moved, which goals progressed, what is newly worth attention. Short enough to read, specific enough to act on.
Financial insights
A plain-English read on where you stand, updated as your figures change, alongside a feed of what is relevant to your stage of life right now.
What it will not do
Worth stating outright, because the limits are the feature.
- No specific securities, funds, or allocations, and no buy, sell, or hold
- No personalized tax or legal advice, those go to a CPA or an attorney
- No guaranteed returns, savings, or approvals, every figure is an estimate with stated assumptions
- No hiding what it used: inputs, assumptions, and confidence come with the answer
- No ranking by what a partner pays, ordering is fit to you only
Frequently asked questions
Is the AI coach giving me financial advice?
No. Cipili provides financial education, comparisons, and estimates. It is not an investment, tax, legal, or accounting adviser and not a fiduciary. For decisions with real stakes, speak to a licensed professional.
Is my financial data used to train an AI model?
No. Data sent for inference goes through a single audited gateway under no-training terms, carries only what the question needs, and is never shared between accounts.
What if it gets a number wrong?
Numeric claims come from Cipili's own calculations rather than the model's memory, which is the main defence against confident nonsense. Every recommendation records its inputs and assumptions so an answer can be checked after the fact.
Can I use Cipili without the AI features?
Yes. The score, the modules, and the tools all work on their own. The coach explains what they produce.
Which plan includes it?
The coach is part of Premium, along with the rest of the tools that help you improve your score.
