Finance Advisor
Type:
AI-powered full-stack product
Stack:
Next.js, React, TypeScript, Gemini API, Clerk
Status:
Live, deployed to real users
Most personal finance tools stop at arithmetic: here is your spending, here is a pie chart, good luck. Finance Advisor was built to go one step further — analyse income, expenditure and savings patterns, then use the Gemini API to turn that analysis into advisory insight that is specific to the person reading it.
The engineering underneath is a Next.js and TypeScript application with Clerk handling multi-user authentication, so the advice is scoped to an actual account rather than a demo session. The interface was designed in Figma first, which is why it reads as a product rather than a dashboard someone wired up.
It was deployed and walked through with real users. Live advisory sessions are an uncomfortable and extremely useful test: they surface, immediately, the difference between an answer that is technically correct and an answer that is actually worth acting on.
Context-aware advisory
Income, expenditure and savings patterns analysed, then passed through the Gemini API to produce personalised financial guidance rather than generic tips.
Clerk multi-user auth
Authentication built for more than one account from the start, with a Figma-designed interface carried through to the deployed product.
Validated on real people
Live advisory walkthroughs with actual users — the fastest available check on whether the output is useful or merely plausible.
