The big idea
If your savings is earning less than inflation, you're losing money in real terms. AI can compare I-bonds, CDs, and high-yield savings so your cash actually keeps up.
How to use it
- Tell AI your savings amount and ask for the best home for it
- Ask AI to explain the lock-up rules for I-bonds and CDs
- Ask AI to model 1-year returns on each option
- Ask AI to remind you about emergency-fund liquidity rules
Try it
Take $500 of imaginary savings. Ask AI to model where it'd grow most over 1 year, given current rates.
