Penny App Review: The world is indeed turning up to AI and Machine Learning. Week by week, we are seeing an uptrend in AI-powered chat bots and Smarter application which takes care of everything from turning on your shower to switching off the lights when you leave home. Where it was still limited to smart homes and Smart assistants like google home and Alexa, the global app makers are not afraid to take few steps further in this innovation.
This week we came across a sweet but immensely smart AI-powered Bot app which acts as your Financial Guru. Penny app is your personal finance coach which acts as an assistant (just like google assistant) and gives you amazing insights on your finance. There are so many major players in Personal finance area already.Biggies like Mint and True Bill, Level money also serves the same purpose.but Penny takes the game further by making it a humanized chat bot which gives beautiful insights and pieces of advice regarding your spending habits.

Also, Penny app automatically identifies spending across all of your accounts and categorizes your transactions into four simple categories. Never dig through your bank statements or miss an unexpected charge again.
We tested the penny app personally for more features claimed by founders Mitchell Lee & Alex Quach in California. founders gave a byte to the VentureBeat where they mentioned “Most personal finance apps are built by technical people, for technical people. They have tons of graphs and tables and budgets, which can be overwhelming to people who are just starting out or don’t care to get a degree in finance,” explained Penny co-founder Mitchell Lee. “Through conversation, we can explain complicated financial topics in easy to understand, friendly terms. Plus, Penny’s personality is lighthearted and encouraging, which makes engaging with your finances more palatable.”
