Course overview

Most people do not have a math problem — they have a clarity problem. This class uses AI to turn scattered financial information into a picture you can actually reason about: where the money goes, what your options are, what the documents mean, and what questions to bring to a professional.

Important: This class is financial education, not financial advice. AI tools can help you organize information, understand terminology, analyze your own numbers, and prepare better questions. They cannot provide personalized professional financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. For decisions that affect your financial future, work with a qualified professional.

  • Anyone who feels behind on their financial picture
  • Households building their first real budget
