# SmartWalt

> Stop tracking. Start building wealth. SmartWalt is the AI financial coach in your pocket that replaces manual expense tracking with Voice Spend and Snap Receipt.

## Product Overview

SmartWalt is an AI-powered personal finance application designed for power users who want total control without the manual drudgery. It combines instant capture methods (Voice, Camera) with active intelligence (Spend Detective, AI Coach) to not just track money, but optimize it.

### Core Value Proposition

- **Active Intelligence**: We don't just show charts; we find wasted money and suggest improvements.
- **Premium Experience**: Built for speed and visual delight, not just utility.

### Key Features
- **Voice Spend**: Natural language processing for instant expense logging.
- **Snap Receipt**: Instant OCR to extract merchant, date, and total from photos.
- **Walt AI Coach**: a GPT-powered financial strategist that answers questions like "Can I afford a vacation?" based on your real data.
- **Spend Detective**: background agent that identifies recurring subscriptions, price hikes, and hidden fees.
- **Smart Budgets**: Self-adjusting budget categories based on rolling averages and income.
- **Unified Dashboard**: A "God View" of your financial life.
