Best on a laptop or desktop monitor

FinlyLife is mobile-friendly, but the dashboard and graphs are clearest on a larger screen where side-by-side views have room. A lightweight iOS companion app is coming for quick check-ins and simple updates from anywhere.

Privacy & Security

Privacy is built in. AI is opt-in, and FinlyLife sends a minimized, relevant snapshot when AI is used—so answers stay grounded without oversharing.

See privacy & security details

Account protections

  • Secure sign-in sessions for the web app.
  • Changes are protected with anti-forgery safeguards (CSRF protection).
  • The API uses bearer access tokens (not browser cookies).

Token safety

  • Access tokens are short-lived.
  • Refresh tokens are stored as hashed secrets (not plaintext).
  • Refresh tokens are rotated (one-time use) and reuse triggers revocation.
  • API logout revokes refresh-token families and invalidates access tokens.

AI privacy controls

  • AI requires a one-time confirmation before anything is sent to the AI provider.
  • Messages are sanitized to redact emails, phone numbers, and account-like long digit sequences.
  • You can hide account/debt names (the planner uses generic labels instead).
  • AI uses a minimized “Data used” snapshot so answers stay grounded.

Data storage and access control

  • Your financial data is stored under your account in the application.
  • Access is controlled by authentication and household-level authorization.
  • You control what’s shared when AI is enabled.
See an example of what’s sent to AI

FinlyLife sends only what’s relevant to your question (and only after consent). Example items include:

  • Top-line totals like net worth, cash, and debts
  • Portfolio allocation summaries (when asked about allocation or risk)
  • Goal assumptions you’ve entered (when asked about retirement/college)
  • “Data used” and optional details that would increase confidence

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Because generic chat can’t see — or verify — your financial reality.

Chat is useful for general ideas. But financial decisions require your numbers and guardrails against made-up math. FinlyLife is built around all the data you choose to enter and then shows you how it's used, so you can verify every recommendation.

Grounded in your data

FinlyLife answers from a structured household snapshot of your accounts, debts, goals, and allocations—not just whatever you remembered to type.

Shows its work

Every answer includes “Data used,” assumptions, and optional details that would increase confidence—so you can verify the result and refine it.

Guardrails against hallucinations

If important details aren’t available yet, FinlyLife calls that out and asks for the optional details that would increase confidence—it doesn’t invent numbers to sound confident.

Consistent, traceable snapshots

Planning stays tied to the household snapshot being used (for example, your latest import), keeping answers consistent across follow-ups.

FinlyLife provides educational financial planning guidance. It is not a registered investment advisor and does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice.

From “Where do I start?” to a plan you can act on.

Step 1

Build your baseline

Add accounts and debts manually, or import a Quicken net worth CSV to refresh balances fast. Holdings stay under your control.

Step 2

Ask a real question

Retirement timing. Debt priorities. Portfolio risk. College planning. FinlyLife pulls the relevant parts of your household snapshot—and acts on your information.

Step 3

Get clear next steps

You’ll see the answer, confidence level, “Data used,” and what inputs would improve accuracy—plus practical actions for the next 3-6 months.

More quick questions (demo)

Trust comes from receipts.

  • Total cash: $73,000
  • Retirement savings: $1,110,000
  • Revolving debt: $4,500

FAQ

Is FinlyLife just an AI chatbot?

No. FinlyLife is a planning engine first.

It turns your accounts, debts, holdings, and goals into a structured household snapshot, runs the calculations, then uses AI to explain the results and recommend next steps.

Each answer is anchored to “Data used” (and any optional details that would increase confidence), so the guidance stays tied to your actual numbers—not generic chat or guessed assumptions.

The technology behind the magic

FinlyLife uses a two-layer system: compute first, explain second.

Behind the scenes, it turns your accounts, debts, holdings, and goals into a structured household snapshot, then runs the calculations (projections, allocation views, tradeoffs) in a consistent way—so the same inputs always produce the same results.

Only after the math is done does AI step in to explain it and recommend next steps. And every time, it’s anchored to a “Data used” snapshot so you can see exactly what the planner relied on.

If something important isn’t available yet, FinlyLife doesn’t guess. It flags the optional details that would increase confidence and labels the result as partial until you add more.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Because planning needs your numbers, clear assumptions, and guardrails.

ChatGPT can be great for general concepts. But for personal financial decisions, it typically can’t verify your actual balances, debts, goals, or allocation—and it won’t reliably show what it assumed to fill the gaps.

FinlyLife is built for planning, not generic chat:

  • Grounded in your data: Answers are based on a structured household snapshot (accounts, debts, goals, allocation), not free-text.
  • Shows its work: Every response includes “Data used”, key assumptions, and any optional details that would increase confidence.
  • Guardrails against made-up math: If inputs are missing, FinlyLife calls them out instead of guessing.
  • Privacy-first by design: AI is opt-in, context is minimized, and you can hide account names.

So you get the convenience of chat, with the discipline of real calculations and receipts.

What data is sent to the AI model?

Only a minimized snapshot relevant to your question, and only after you consent. You can also hide account/debt names.

Do you require bank logins?

No. You can import from Quicken via CSV or enter data manually.

Does FinlyLife pick stocks or tell me what to buy?

FinlyLife focuses on allocation, risk alignment, and planning tradeoffs—not stock-picking.

Is this financial advice?

FinlyLife provides planning insights and education based on the data you provide. It’s not a substitute for professional financial, tax, or legal advice.
