AI Integration

Sprout allows you to interact with your financial data using Large Language Models (LLMs). Once configured, the AI can analyze your account balances, transaction history, and investment holdings to provide insights and trends.

Financial Disclaimer

Do not rely on AI for critical financial decisions. LLMs can "hallucinate" (provide incorrect data) or miss nuances in complex tax laws. Always consult a certified financial advisor before making significant changes to your portfolio.

Data Privacy & Security

We take your financial privacy seriously:

  • Encryption: API keys are encrypted at rest.
  • Minimal Exposure: Sprout only sends the last 90 days of transaction history to minimize data exposure.
  • Masked Data: Sprout replaces numerous identifiers to generic ID's when passed to the LLM to prevent data leakage. This is then turned back into the real text when we receive the response. This data includes: account ID's, transaction descriptions.

Supported Models

  • Google Gemini: Currently our primary integration for high-speed financial analysis.
