02 / YOUR WORDS. YOUR STARTING POINT.

Say what matters.
We'll draft the plan.

“Build my budget from my recent spending. Keep groceries under $650.” The budget assistant turns a sentence and your financial history into a proposal you can actually review.

  • Build from your income and recent spending
  • Explain a period, explore a what-if, or rebalance
  • See the proposed lines and reasons before applying
You get the final say. Nothing changes until you apply the proposal.

FROM THE REAL APP

A starting point.
With the thinking attached.

See the proposed changes alongside your current targets. Keep the parts that fit your life, adjust your request, and review before applying.

AI budget creation, explanations, and what-if answers require All Access. AI automation drafting and Rebalance with a preview are free, with a generous daily allowance.

A PLAN THAT KNOWS WHAT TO DO NEXT

Your next move.
Already thought through.

“When Fun Money reaches 80%, alert me.” Describe a budget automation, inspect the draft, and save it when you're ready.

WHENA threshold. An overrun.
A forecast. A period ending.
THENAlert. Email. Notify your partner.
Pause a line. Reassign budget money.

Automations run when the budget is evaluated. Partner alerts respect shared plans. Moving budget money changes assignments, never transfers money between bank accounts.

03 / SMARTER TRANSACTIONS

A cleaner ledger.
A clearer picture.

Less sorting, fewer misleading totals, and a direct path from a purchase to the plan it belongs in.

AI AUTO-CATEGORIZATION

The category.
And the detail. Handled.

Open a transaction's category and ask Chip In Intelligence to choose the category and detailed category. Review the recommendation, then use it when it looks right.

Your category correction stays in place when the bank syncs. Turn repeat decisions into rules when you want future purchases to follow the same approach.

INCOME & EXPENSE CLASSIFICATION

Money moving around
isn't always money coming in.

Chip In works out what a transaction really is: income, spending, a transfer, a card or loan payment, or a refund. A payment arriving on your card should never inflate your income.

The same classification keeps Reports, cash flow, savings rate, payday, and Smart Signals consistent. If something looks wrong, choose the right type; the category follows.

FROM TRANSACTION TO BUDGET

See where it counts.
Make room when it doesn't.

Budget coverage lives right beside the transaction. See the line it counts toward, or add an uncovered category or merchant with a suggested target. Build the wider plan from your history with the AI budget assistant.

New eligible purchases then count toward the matching lines automatically. Open the line to see the transactions behind the total.

04 / RULES & TAGS, IN YOUR OWN WORDS

Say it once.
Let the rule remember.

“Tag every Delta charge as Travel.” Or “Rename AMZN Mktp to Amazon.” Describe the result you want and Chip In Intelligence writes a transaction rule for you to approve.

  • Match merchants, amounts, accounts, or categories
  • Tag, categorize, and rename automatically
  • Preview matches, reorder rules, and undo a run
A draft before a decision. Inspect what it will do before saving.

The story behind it.

Build your plan in Budgets. Follow it across periods in Reports. Ask for a briefing, dig into a question, or read your month as one connected money story.
