What is the Monarch AI Assistant?

You can now “chat with your money”, getting personalized advice on financial topics including ways to save money, stay on top of your budget, and accelerate your financial goals.
How can I turn on the AI Assistant in Monarch?
We've decided to disable the AI Assistant for now. If you have the access turned on, you will still be able to use the AI Assistant. However, no new users will be able to turn this feature on and use it. Please Note: Users that already have it enabled will be able to disable it, and once disabled you will not be able to enable it again.
How can the AI Assistant help me, and when should I use the AI Assistant?
You can use the AI Assistant as much as you'd like! It can help you with questions like how to manage cash flow, understand your net worth, track investments, offer advice, and set goals. The more you use the Assistant, the smarter it will become.
How does the AI powering the AI Assistant work?
The Assistant uses a type of artificial intelligence (AI) called Large Language Models (LLMs) that are trained on large amounts of data to understand patterns and structures of language. Over time, with more data and inputs, LLMs learn and iterate on the model to improve their accuracy. LLMs can help explain, define, and summarize to help you understand concepts better.
We use GPT-4 by OpenAI to generate responses by sending the relevant financial data to OpenAI when you ask questions. Your data is never used by OpenAI to train OpenAI’s language model.
While we aim to give you context behind Monarch’s new AI features, this page is not a comprehensive resource to learn about artificial intelligence.
