Any self hosted personal finance projects doing anything interesting with AI that you've found value in?

Any self hosted personal finance projects doing anything interesting with AI that you've found value in? - Lemmy.World

I’m not necessarily interested in the traditional full budgeting and planning type stuff, but more like “AI take all these statements and tell me how to save money” purpose built tools. Anyone used anything they’d suggest? (And to hopefully head off any unhelpful answers like I got on Reddit, I am not trying to have an AI manage my money, nor am I talking about just a wrapper for ChatGPT. AI in the broad sense of the term that can be intelligently used as part of larger programmatic workflows.)

All I want is software that I can put DD’s and known regulars in and it can tell me how much I’ll have in 3 or 6 months time.

I’ve tried firefly, actual budget and most of the docker based ones but still stuck using the forecast app on the ipad.

They’re all just way to over complicated for what anyone I know wants and given how AI can’t get the simplest things right, I’d rather someone just work on simplicity that works, like microsoft money didn’t before they killed it. 🙄😕

Its also not free lol

I’m broke and no way am I paying for something to help me not be broke. It just always confuses me how everything these days is over thought rather than K.I.S.S.

I think I belong in some other universe! 😞

I’m just presenting that as a “is this what you mean”. If it is, then perhaps a FOSS or self hostable version fists or the community might be interested in one existing.
