Workflow Steps

Step 1: Data Importer Agent

The Data Importer Agent connects to bank statements and financial accounts:

# Import financial data from various sources
financial_data = {
    "bank_statements": import_csv("bank_export.csv"),
    "credit_cards": import_excel("credit_card.xlsx"),
    "investments": fetch_api("investment_portfolio"),
    "loans": parse_pdf("loan_documents.pdf")
}

Step 2: Spending Analyzer Agent

The Spending Analyzer Agent categorizes and analyzes spending patterns:

# Categorize transactions
categories = {
    "housing": 35,
    "food": 15,
    "transportation": 10,
    "entertainment": 8,
    "savings": 20,
    "other": 12
}

# Identify trends and anomalies
spending_trends = analyze_monthly_trends(financial_data)
anomalies = detect_unusual_spending(financial_data)

Step 3: Budget Optimizer Agent

The Budget Optimizer Agent suggests budget improvements:

# Compare against recommended benchmarks
budget_recommendations = {
    "housing": {"current": 35, "recommended": "28-32%", "savings_potential": 3},
    "food": {"current": 15, "recommended": "10-15%", "savings_potential": 0},
    "entertainment": {"current": 8, "recommended": "5%", "savings_potential": 3}
}

# Generate actionable suggestions
suggestions = [
    "Consider reducing dining out by $200/month",
    "Switch to a lower-cost internet provider",
    "Set up automatic savings transfer"
]

Step 4: Investment Researcher Agent

The Investment Researcher Agent researches investment opportunities:

# Research based on risk profile and goals
investment_analysis = {
    "risk_profile": "moderate",
    "time_horizon": "20 years",
    "recommended_allocation": {
        "stocks": 60,
        "bonds": 30,
        "cash": 10
    },
    "specific_recommendations": [
        "Vanguard Total Stock Market Index (VTI)",
        "Vanguard Total Bond Market Index (BND)",
        "Consider index funds over individual stocks"
    ]
}

Step 5: Report Generator Agent

The Report Generator Agent creates visual financial reports:

# Generate comprehensive reports
reports = {
    "monthly_summary": create_chart("monthly_spending.png"),
    "category_breakdown": create_pie_chart("spending_categories.png"),
    "trend_analysis": create_line_chart("spending_trends.png"),
    "recommendations": generate_text_report("financial_advice.md")
}

Step 6: Alert Agent

The Alert Agent monitors for unusual spending or opportunities:

# Set up monitoring alerts
alerts = [
    {"type": "unusual_spending", "threshold": "2x average", "action": "notify"},
    {"type": "bill_due", "days_before": 3, "action": "remind"},
    {"type": "investment_opportunity", "condition": "market dip >5%", "action": "notify"}
]

advisor = FinanceAdvisor(
    data_sources=["bank_export.csv", "investment_portfolio.xlsx"],
    risk_profile="moderate",
    goals=["retirement", "home_purchase"]
)

# Get monthly analysis
analysis = advisor.analyze_month("2026-05")
