Looking for partners interest in GenAI and Expense Tracking

I built ExpenseLM (https://expenselm.ai) to solve my own problem, mainly to keep track of my expenses, down to item level. I also want to be able to use AI agent (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc) to help analyse my expense and give me budgeting advice, so I also created a MCP server for it (https://www.expenselm.ai/docs/mcp-server-guide).

Looking for partners who also interest in those kind of tools. We can work together to evolve the tool so that more users will find it useful. I am very flexible in the partnership, can co-own the product or revenue shareing.

The following is a screenshot using Claude desktop to analyse my expense.

    This is a really compelling direction — AI-driven expense analysis that actually advises instead of just logging has a chance to become more than a tool; it could be a personal finance companion.

    I’m curious — when you think about onboarding new users, what entry experience are you designing to make data entry less of a friction point? A lot of expense tools struggle when people don’t want to add every receipt manually.

    Also, have you thought about automated categorization or bank connection flows to reduce that initial grind? With clean item-level data, GenAI can really shine in explanations and budgeting recommendations.

    To collaborate on innovative solutions, smarter analytics, automation, and scalable business growth, we are looking for partners interested in GenAI and expense tracking.

    Clarence, ExpenseLM hits a real pain point—tracking expenses at the item level and combining it with AI insights is something most people struggle with.

    From a strategic perspective:

    Solving a personal problem first is always a strong starting point; products built for yourself often resonate with others in similar situations.

    AI-driven analysis + budgeting advice is a clear differentiator compared to standard expense trackers. Most tools stop at logging.

    Partnership flexibility is smart—it can attract collaborators who bring complementary skills (growth, UX, or AI fine-tuning).

    MCP server approach opens doors for integrations and scaling, which could make this appealing to other AI-savvy users.

    If you focus next on frictionless onboarding and actionable insights, ExpenseLM could easily move from a personal tool to a widely adopted AI finance assistant.

    Using this AI marketing tool called Amplift might be helpful.

    Really interesting project. I like how you approached the problem. What was the biggest challenge so far?

    The MCP server angle is clever. Most expense tools stop at "here's a CSV export" but letting Claude or other AI agents actually query and analyse the data directly opens up way more interesting use cases.

    Curious about one thing - when you're tracking at item level, how are you handling the data entry friction? That's always been the killer for expense tracking for me. The analysis part is easy once you have clean data, but getting transactions categorised in the first place is the grind.

    Been working on something similar for bookkeeping (auto-coding bank transactions) and the pattern matching side turned out to be the hardest part. Would be interested to hear how you're approaching that.

    Hi Clarence,
    I checked the site, i believe lots of changes can be made, and the product can be improved as well. Would like to have a quick meet and discuss if our ideas align.

    This is a solid idea, Clarence tools like ExpenseLM can grow fast on Reddit because people openly discuss budgeting, personal finance, and automation pain points every day

    I help founders get their first real users from Reddit by identifying the exact subreddits where products like yours perform best, and crafting posts/comments that attract people who actually need what you’re building

    If you ever want help validating this, finding the right communities, or turning Reddit traffic into early users, happy to share what’s been working for my clients

    DM open anytime if you want a quick breakdown

      Hi, would like to know more about your work, since I also posted a few time in Reddit as well. How can we contact each other? Kindly let me know and thanks.

      Hi Stelly,
      I saw you’re great at finding clients on Reddit and helping founders grow.

      I run a small service business where I connect clients with high-quality developers/designers. I handle the project, delivery, and communication.

      I’m looking for a promoter who can bring clients.
      For every client you bring, you get 17–20% of the project amount — paid immediately after the client pays.

      You don’t need to do any work besides sending leads.
      No risk, no upfront investment.

      If you’re interested, I can explain the full profit model in 2 minutes.
