TheBudget - Envelope Budgeting

TheBudget is an AI-first personal finance app built around envelope budgeting. Connect your bank accounts, and your personal financial guru takes it from there — categorizing every transaction, learning your spending patterns, and giving you a clear picture of where your money goes.

No spreadsheets. No manual entry. Just connect and go.

YOUR FINANCIAL GURU
Chat with your AI financial advisor by text or voice. Ask anything — "How much did we spend on food this month?", "Are we on track?", "What should I do with extra cash?" Your guru knows your accounts, your envelopes, your goals, and your history. It gets smarter the more you use it.

ENVELOPE BUDGETING MADE SIMPLE
Every dollar gets assigned to an envelope. Groceries, mortgage, kids activities, date night — you decide the categories, set the targets, and the app tracks spending automatically. Start with a template that fits your household (single, couple, or family) and customize from there.

SMART TRANSACTION CLASSIFICATION
The AI agent categorizes your transactions automatically using merchant rules it learns over time. When it's not sure, it flags the transaction for your review — one tap to confirm or reassign. Amazon grocery deliveries? It detects the tip pattern and routes them correctly.

DAILY BRIEFINGS
Wake up to a personalized financial briefing. What hit your accounts today, how you're tracking against your budget this week, which envelopes are running hot, and what's coming up. Action items tell you exactly what needs attention.

SPECIALIST ADVISORS
Your guru consults four specialist AI advisors when you need deeper analysis — investment strategy, tax optimization, debt payoff planning, and retirement projections. Ask a question in any of these areas and get thoughtful, personalized guidance.

SHARE EXTENSION
See an Amazon order confirmation or a receipt? Share it directly to TheBudget from any app. The AI processes it automatically — matches it to a transaction, assigns the right envelope, and creates a rule for next time.

HOUSEHOLD SHARING
Invite your partner to share the same budget. Both of you see the same accounts, envelopes, and spending. Generate an invite code in Settings and they're in.

BANK-LEVEL SECURITY
