What is AI financial planning?

AI financial planning is the use of AI models to project future cash flow, model alternative scenarios, and recommend optimization actions across tax, retirement, insurance, and investment decisions.

Why it matters

Why this matters

  • Projections quantify trade-offs invisible without modeling.
  • Scenarios test resilience to job loss, market downturns, and major purchases.
How it works

How it works

  • Connect accounts and document income/expense history.
  • Project base case forward 1–30 years.
  • Model alternative scenarios (career change, real estate, retirement age).
  • Recommend tax, retirement, and insurance optimizations.
Examples

Examples in practice

Retirement scenario

Base case: retire at 67. Scenario A: max 401(k) + Roth IRA from now — retire at 61 with same income. Scenario B: continue current contributions — retire at 67.
