Nine AI tools that know where you live
Most AI finance apps give you a chatbot. PocketSpend gives you a region-aware money assistant that remembers your goals, explains your spikes, finds your deductions and writes your cancellation emails — quietly, in the background.
AI Coach
Multi-turn chat with persistent memory. Asks about your goals, weighs your real spend, gives specific actions you can act on this week.
When you want a finance second-opinion.
Weekly Review
Auto-generated Sunday digest: wins, concerns, upcoming bills, and the one focus action for the week ahead.
Pushed every Sunday morning.
Anomaly Explainer
"Why did groceries jump 3.5×?" Explains spikes in plain English with two or three suggested actions.
When a category goes ≥2× your baseline.
Cancel Help
Step-by-step cancellation instructions for any subscription — URL, phone number, email template, retention warnings.
When the Subscription Finder flags something.
Tax Optimise
Finds deductible transactions per region (IRS Schedule C, HMRC Self-Assessment, ATO). Confidence-scored. Estimates annual tax savings.
Year-round, with a Q1/Q4 nudge.
Budget Suggest

Every push you receive.

Receipt Scanner
Snap or import a receipt photo. AI extracts merchant, amount, currency, date and line items. Counts against your monthly quota.

Region-aware, by design
Budget Suggest knows UK rent eats 35% of take-home. Tax Optimise knows IRS Schedule C is not the same as ATO D1. Climate Footprint compares you to the regional average, not a US-centric default. The AI is not generic — it is calibrated to where you live and how your paycheck cycles.
AI questions
What AI features does PocketSpend include?▼
PocketSpend includes nine AI tools: AI Coach with persistent memory, Weekly Review (Sunday digest), Anomaly Explainer for spending spikes, Cancel Help for any subscription, Tax Optimise for IRS Schedule C / HMRC / ATO deductions, Budget Suggest (region-aware 50/30/20), Notification Personalise, Ask AI for one-shot finance Q&A, and a Receipt Scanner.
Is the AI free?▼
No. AI features are available from Personal Plus ($3.99/month) upward. Personal Plus includes light AI access (10 receipt scans per month and anomaly detection). Personal Premium ($7.99) unlocks the full suite. Business and Business Pro scale receipt quotas to 200 and 500 per month respectively.
Does the AI Coach remember my goals between sessions?▼
Yes. Memory is per-user and persists across sessions and reinstalls. The Coach asks about your goals once and weighs them against your real spending data on every follow-up.
How does Tax Optimise work?▼
Tax Optimise scans your transactions and flags those likely to be deductible under your region’s tax regime — IRS Schedule C (US), HMRC Self-Assessment (UK), or ATO categories (Australia). Each suggestion is confidence-scored and the tool estimates total annual savings.
Is the AI region-aware?▼
Yes. Budget Suggest knows UK rent eats about 35% of take-home pay. Tax Optimise knows IRS Schedule C is not the same as ATO D1. Climate Footprint compares you to the regional average, not a US-centric default. The AI is calibrated to where you live and how your paycheck cycles.
Can I use the AI offline?▼
No. AI features require an internet connection. Your bank-sync data is cached locally so you can view balances and history offline, but generating new AI responses requires a live request.
