Internet connection

5-Minute Setup

# 1. Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fintech-agent.git
cd fintech-agent

# 2. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 3. Configure API key
echo "GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here" > .env

# 4. Start backend (Terminal 1)
python backend.py

That's it! Open http://localhost:8501 in your browser.

📦 Installation

Method 1: Standard Installation

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fintech-agent.git
cd fintech-agent

# Create virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies

💡 Usage Examples

Example 1: Retirement Planning

# User: "I'm 35, want to retire at 60 with ₹5 crore. I have ₹10L saved."

Input in UI:
- Current Age: 35
- Retirement Age: 60  
- Current Savings: ₹10,00,000
- Monthly SIP: ₹25,000
- Expected Return: 12%

Output:
✅ Projected Corpus: ₹5.2 Cr
💰 Surplus: ₹20L
📊 Success Probability: 87%
🎯 Recommendation: You're on track! Consider using surplus for other goals.

Example 2: House Down Payment

# Goal: Save ₹40L in 6 years for house

Input:
- Target: ₹40,00,000
- Timeline: 6 years
- Current Savings: ₹5,00,000
- Monthly SIP: ₹35,000
- Expected Return: 10%

Output:
⚠️ Shortfall: ₹3.2L
📈 Required Monthly: ₹38,500
💡 Action: Increase SIP by ₹3,500/month OR extend timeline by 6 months

Example 3: Multi-Goal Balancing

# Managing 3 goals simultaneously:

Emergency Fund (Essential): ₹9L in 1 year
House (Important): ₹40L in 6 years  
Retirement (Essential): ₹5Cr at age 60

System Output:
Priority 1: Emergency (₹75K/month for 12 months)
Priority 2: Retirement (₹25K/month starting now)
Priority 3: House (₹35K/month after emergency complete)

Total Initial: ₹100K/month
After 1 year: ₹60K/month

💬 FAQ

Is this system SEBI-registered?

No. This is an educational tool for research purposes. It provides information and calculations but not personalized investment advice. Consult a registered financial advisor for major decisions.

How accurate are the projections?

Mathematical calculations are 99.9% accurate vs. manual computation. However, projections depend on assumptions (expected returns, inflation) which may not hold in all market conditions. We use conservative estimates based on historical data.

Can I use this for my startup/business?

Yes! It's open-source (MIT License). You're free to use, modify, and distribute. We'd appreciate attribution and would love to hear how you're using it.

Does it work with US stocks?

Yes! Yahoo Finance provides global market data. Works with US (NYSE, NASDAQ), Indian (NSE, BSE), and most international markets.

How do I get a Gemini API key?

Visit https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey, sign in with Google, and create a free API key. Current free tier includes 60 requests/minute.

Can I run this offline?

Partially. Financial calculations work offline. However, you need internet for: Gemini AI responses, stock market data, and real-time news.

How do I update to the latest version?

git pull origin main
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
