Meet Buddy AI: Canada’s First Chat-Based Financial Assistant Helping You Budget Like a Friend

Budgety Launches Canada’s First AI Assistant for Personal Finance

Budgety, a Vancouver-based personal finance platform, has publicly launched across Canada after a successful six-month private beta. Its standout feature, Buddy AI, is Canada’s first conversational financial assistant integrated into a consumer budgeting app.

Unlike traditional budgeting tools with static dashboards and manual data entry, Buddy AI offers a chat-based interface that helps users understand their finances, identify spending trends, and receive personalized suggestions. It reacts to real-time behavior, making money management more approachable and less technical.

A New Kind of Financial Support

“People don’t need another budgeting app. They need someone in their corner,” said Chisom Ezeh, CEO and Co-founder of Budgety. Buddy AI delivers support and nudges that feel more personal and human, avoiding the complexity of financial jargon.

During the beta phase, more than 1,600 users tested the platform. Feedback showed strong approval for the conversational format, which users found more accessible than conventional finance tools. The app supports secure connections to most Canadian banks, enabling users to track transactions and set financial goals all in one place.

Filling the Gap Left by Mint

Budgety’s launch comes shortly after the closure of Mint, which left many Canadians searching for a reliable budgeting solution. Budgety positions itself as a modern alternative, combining automation with actionable guidance. It has already drawn comparisons to top budgeting apps available in Canada.

In addition to core budgeting and tracking, Budgety offers Budgety Club—a hub for financial literacy content, resources, and peer support. The platform’s focus is on helping users build sustainable financial habits rather than just monitoring expenses.

“It’s not enough to just show people where their money is going. With Budgety Club, we’re focused on helping users understand why it’s happening and what they can do about it. Building sustainable financial habits takes support, education, and context,” added Chisom Ezeh.
