I'm curious why you built a full budgeting app instead of adding a local AI chat to an existing open source app like Actual Budget.

Thanks. Well, accuracy depends on the code that owns the ledger, which does all the math against the app data model. I also added checks that compare a couple of readings of the question through the same calculation layer. Since there are also many other moving parts coupled with the ledger (categories, rules, transfers, refunds), it just felt better to own the whole stack.
