- Is WealthCues financial advice?
- No. WealthCues gives you information, calculations and decision support. It does not recommend investments, predict markets, or replace a qualified financial, tax or legal adviser. Where a figure rests on an assumption you entered, the product says so on the same screen.
- Can the AI invent a number?
- It is built so that it cannot. The assistant has no direct database access: it calls a fixed set of named tools that return computed results from the deterministic engine, and composes its answer from those results. When no tool can supply what was asked, it declines instead of estimating.
- Where does my data go in the demo?
- Nowhere. The demo runs entirely in your browser against a fictional household, and anything you add or edit is stored in local storage on your own device. You can export it as JSON or reset it from Settings at any time.
- Does it connect to my real bank?
- Not in this build. The account model and provider interface are designed so an aggregator — Account Aggregator in India, or Plaid, Yodlee, MX and FinBox elsewhere — can populate accounts directly, and connected accounts behave identically to manual ones everywhere else in the product.
- Which AI models does it use?
- The AI layer is provider-agnostic. A common interface supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and locally hosted Ollama models, with model, temperature, context and token limits configurable per deployment. For privacy-sensitive deployments, local inference keeps financial context on your own infrastructure.
- How are projections calculated?
- By compounding what you have told the product to compound: your current portfolio and cash, and the contribution you set. Income beyond spending and contributions is reported as unallocated rather than silently invested. There is no market simulation and no probability distribution — these are arithmetic consequences of your assumptions.
