What Shayr AI can answer

Shayr AI answers questions about your own household money in plain language, such as How much did we spend on dining this month?. It reads your data and writes an answer. It cannot change anything.

Steps

  1. Tap the menu icon, then Shayr AI. You can also tap the Ask Shayr anything about your finances bar at the top of Insights.

    Shayr AI in the demo account. The screen is locked, with example questions like How much did I spend on food last month and a sign up button.
  2. The first time, Shayr asks you to accept a consent screen. See AI consent and privacy.

  3. Tap one of the Try asking suggestions or type under Ask about your finances. Questions can be up to 4,000 characters.

  4. Read the reply. Answers can include a small chart and colored numbers. Follow up in the same chat.

What it can see

For each question Shayr sends the AI a summary of your whole household: net worth, income and spending for the last 30 days and the months before, your top categories and trends, your last 30 expense transactions (merchant, amount and category), recurring bills, budgets, goals, your latest Money Date notes, a short spending behavior summary (city names only), investments, family member names and the income range and goal you gave Shayr.

What it cannot do

How many questions you get

PlanShayr AI messages each month
Free trial10
Bussin10
GOAT20
Your own key (GOAT or trial)No Shayr limit
After a trial ends with no plan0 on Shayr's AI

The count resets on the 1st of each month, is kept per person, and only counts messages that got an answer. If your household has a higher plan, you get that plan's allowance. A trial ranks below Bussin, so a household with a Bussin member gets 10.

Wording in the app

The consent screen says Free accounts get 2 messages/day and the limit sheet says Daily Limit Reached. Those are old words and a fix is planned. The real limit is monthly, as in the table above.

If something goes wrong

It says Daily Limit Reached.
You used your monthly allowance. Tap Use My API Key if you are on GOAT or the trial, or wait for the 1st. See Bring your own model.
It shows Something went wrong.
The AI service could not answer. Try again in a minute. If your trial has ended with no plan, the chat is blocked.
Can I clear what it knows?
It keeps nothing between chats. Each question sends a fresh summary and the chat disappears when you leave.
