Building Your Own AI Financial Advisor: A Comprehensive Review of the Top Platforms

In a recent experiment, five prominent AI platforms were tested to determine their capabilities in creating a financial advisor without requiring advanced technical skills. The platforms evaluated were OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Hugging Face, Anthropic’s Claude, and Mistral AI.

Each platform was tasked with providing financial advice for an individual with $25,000 to invest and $30,000 in debt, using only out-of-the-box functionalities without added tools. The results emphasized both the ease of setup and the quality of the advice produced.

Platform Rankings:

  1. OpenAI’s ChatGPT (8.5/10)
  • Setup Ease: 4/5
  • Results Quality: 4.5/5

ChatGPT provided a well-structured and detailed financial plan, showing superior contextual awareness and problem-solving skills.

  1. Google Gemini (7/10)
  • Setup Ease: 4/5
  • Results Quality: 3/5

Gemini offered an intuitive interface but required more detailed prompts to generate effective financial advice, with a consultative approach that emphasized context gathering.

  1. Hugging Face (6.5/10)
  • Setup Ease: 2/5
  • Results Quality: 4.5/5

As an open-source platform, Hugging Face provided excellent customization options and advanced capabilities, though it was less user-friendly for novices.

  1. Anthropic’s Claude (5.5/10)
  • Setup Ease: 2.5/5
  • Results Quality: 3/5

Claude’s minimalist design was not very intuitive, and while it showed strategic thinking, the advice given was often vague and conservative.

  1. Mistral AI (5/10)
  • Setup Ease: 2.5/5
  • Results Quality: 2.5/5

Mistral required more technical understanding and struggled with basic financial calculations, ultimately producing the least satisfactory output in this test.

Overall, the experiment highlighted that while each AI platform had its strengths and weaknesses, OpenAI’s ChatGPT emerged as the most balanced option, effectively catering to users with varying levels of expertise. The findings underscore the importance of user experience and the potential of AI agents to serve specialized functions in everyday tasks like financial planning.
