Enabling an agent to query financial data really helps on the analysis side. How are you tackling the data ingestion side? The challenge I’ve seen again and again is logging financial data from different sources in a consistent way such that it is able to be aggregated and queried. I’ve been curious if AI can help there. | ||

We’re tackling ingestion primarily through direct bank connections. Users connect their bank and financial accounts, and transactions flow into our system automatically. From there, we store the data in a structured database and normalize it into a consistent internal format so it can be aggregated and queried reliably. Right now, the ingestion layer handles most of the heavy lifting—parsing the raw feeds, mapping fields into a standard schema, and ensuring consistency across institutions. Our next version will include layering AI to help with classification and enrichment (e.g. categorizing ambiguous transactions, detecting anomalies, and filling in context where the raw data is thin). So it’s a mix: the ingestion pipeline makes the data uniform, while AI helps make it more useful and accurate for analysis. As we move toward our “agentic” roadmap, we see AI playing a bigger role in automating the messy parts of ingestion as well. |
