# Chatbot Finance Apps 'Abe' Offers Finance Tracking Capabilities Through Real-Time Chat By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-06-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finance-tracking References: [betalist](https://betalist.com/startups/abe-ai) & [abe.ai](https://www.abe.ai) Partaking in finance tracking is no easy feat, so 'Abe' is programmed to be a revolutionary solution to maintain control over your money. Rather than force you to log in to your bank account every time you have a question about your money, 'Abe' enables you to chat in real-time with the chatbot to find out what you need to know. 'Abe' connects to you on Slack, through SMS on Facebook Messenger or even [Amazon's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rufus) Alexa. To use the finance tracking AI, users simply ask 'Abe' a question such as, "how much cash do I have?" 'Abe' will check your accounts and provide with you an exact amount. From here, users can ask 'Abe' how much money they can afford to use for a vacation or a purchase. 'Abe' will then calculate your other expenses and provide an amount that's manageable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Real-time Chat:** Real-time chat functionality allows for instant finance tracking and information retrieval. - **Chatbot Technology:** The use of chatbot technology in finance apps provides a user-friendly and interactive experience. - **AI-powered Finance Tracking:** AI-powered finance tracking enables users to easily manage their money and make informed financial decisions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Financial Technology (fintech):** The finance industry can leverage real-time chat and chatbot technology to enhance customer experience and streamline financial services. - **Artificial Intelligence (AI):** The AI industry can explore opportunities to develop advanced AI-powered finance tracking solutions for improved personal finance management. - **Messaging Platforms:** Messaging platform providers can integrate finance tracking chatbots to enhance their platform features and attract users looking for convenient money management tools. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Personal Finance Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-expense-tracker.md) - [AI-Powered Budgeting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-budgeting-app.md) - [AI Financial Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genkin.md) - [Privacy-Focused Budgeting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-personal-finance-app.md) - [AI Budgeting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneystack.md) - [Disruptive AI-Finance Chatbots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-financial.md) - [AI-Powered Budgeting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneta-lend.md) - [Financial Support Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-haunt-me.md) - [AI Expense Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolly-ai-money-tracker.md)
