Every other finance app is a mirror. ArgusAI is a window.
Mint, Monarch, Rocket Money — they show you what you already spent. ArgusAI watches your money the way a senior financial analyst would: continuously, proactively, and with memory. It predicts what is coming, warns before problems happen, and gets smarter about your specific financial behavior every single day.

| Alerts after overdrafts | Warns before they happen |
| Generic insights | Grounded in your real numbers |

The core intelligence layer. Every feature feeds into it — and it feeds back into every feature.
- Chat — ask any financial question, get structured answers with charts, tables, and verdict cards. Never plain paragraphs.
- Side Panel — Cmd+K on any screen. Context-aware to what you're looking at, persists across navigation.
- Outcome Ledger — every prediction Argus makes is logged, then graded against what actually happened. It learns from being right and wrong.
- Tool Registry — Safe to Spend, pay timing, profile data, and merchant history are all callable by Argus in chat.
- Safe to Spend — one number, updated every morning. Real spending power after bills, goals, and buffer. Not your balance.
- Smart Payment Calendar — bills, subscriptions, and AI-recommended payment dates in one view. Brand logos, urgency coloring, pay timing intelligence per card.
- Intelligence Feed — multi-agent analyst pipeline runs after every sync. Surfaces risk, opportunity, behavioral patterns, and anomalies with full reasoning visible.
- Financial Profile — spending ring by category, merchant rankings by total spend, 30-day trend per merchant. Drill into any merchant for a frequency heatmap, monthly trend, and an Argus insight specific to your pattern with them.
- Bills — recurring charges detected automatically, due dates tracked, AI enrichment per merchant.
- Subscriptions — active subscriptions tracked with price creep detection and cancel recommendations.
- Transactions — full transaction history with AI categorization and category filters.
- Onboarding — 10-chapter flow covering income, expenses, goals, debt, and risk tolerance. Plaid bank linking built in.
- Accounts — connect checking, savings, and credit. Auto-sync after linking.
- Auth — email/password and Google OAuth.
