About the Client

WealthFluent (formerly Ripsaw) is a U.S.-based fintech company. They are on a mission to democratize financial planning. By combining portfolio tracking, goal setting, and self-directed investment tools, they help users control their financial future. WealthFluent needed a partner to transform their platform from a passive tracking tool into an intelligent companion.

Regulatory Compliance

[ Challenge ]

Make finance feel friendly

Their platform was powerful, but users felt overwhelmed by charts and numbers. WealthFluent wanted to bridge this gap with an AI companion that could explain complex data in plain English.

However, they faced two critical hurdles:

Trust & compliance: The AI needed to provide helpful insights without crossing the line into "financial advice," which triggers strict legal regulations.
Data overload: The system had to process massive amounts of live transaction data in real-time. A slow chatbot would kill the user experience, but a fast one risked hallucinating (making things up).

They needed a partner who could balance speed, security, and absolute reliability.

[ Solution ]

Building the Solution

We engineered a secure AI assistant on Amazon Bedrock, integrating it into the WealthFluent web platform.

Smart data pre-processing: To ensure speed, we built a layer that filters and summarizes account data before it reaches the AI. This allows the bot to give instant answers about spending trends without lag.

Contextual education: We connected the bot to a curated library of financial knowledge. Users can highlight any term in the chat to get a fast, plain-English definition.

Scalable architecture: We designed the system to grow. It is currently ready for the next phase: an AI-driven Portfolio Optimizer that will simulate investment scenarios based on user goals.

Impact that Matters

[ Results]

The AI assistant transformed WealthFluent from a tracking tool into an interactive financial guide.

User empowerment:

Users now receive proactive data-driven hints. The system identifies spending patterns and suggests budget adjustments automatically.

Operational efficiency

The AI handles 100% of initial onboarding, guiding users through complex setup processes that previously required human support or static FAQs.

Innovation velocity

By using Amazon Bedrock, we established a flexible foundation. This allows WealthFluent to swap in newer, faster AI models as soon as they are released without rewriting code.
