AI Configuration

​
AI Model

Select which AI model to use for the financial advisor chat. The default is openai/gpt-4o-mini, but Cerebras (openrouter/cerebras/auto) is recommended for fast responses. The model identifier follows the provider/model-name format and any model available on OpenRouter can be used.

​
AI Context

Provide free-text context about your financial situation. This context is included in every AI chat conversation to help the advisor give more relevant answers. Examples of useful context:
  • Your business type and industry
  • How many clients or income sources you have
  • Which bank accounts are personal vs. business
  • Any specific financial goals or concerns

​
