Bank connection, via Plaid — the app never moves money

What changed

Users ask plain-language questions about their own spending and get answers computed from their real transactions, not generic advice.
Bank sync, budgeting, net-worth tracking, recurring bills, AI insights, and billing all ship from one codebase we own end to end.

TurboBudget is our own consumer product: a budgeting and debt-payoff app at turbobudget.app. Users connect their bank (read-only, via Plaid), and the app sorts the spending, holds the budgets, tracks net worth, and keeps recurring bills honest.

The interesting part: AI you can ask

We integrated OpenAI so users can ask plain-language questions about their own money — “what did I spend on restaurants in June?”, “anything unusual this month?” — and get answers computed from their real transactions, not generic advice. The same engine surfaces proactive insights: over-budget alerts, savings wins, and a forecast for the month ahead.

What was built

Everything: the marketing site, the app itself (bank sync, budgeting engine, net-worth tracking, month-over-month comparisons), the AI insights layer, and the billing. Dark-mode product design end to end, and the marketing site scores a perfect 100 for performance in Lighthouse with a 0.5-second paint.

Why it’s in a web design portfolio

Because it’s proof of range. The same team that builds a fence company’s lead-gen site also ships consumer software with bank integrations and AI — which is why a small-business site from us comes with product-grade engineering habits: fast, measured, and built to convert.

Disclosure

TurboBudget is a Graphcast-owned product, not a third-party client. It is here to show what we build, not as an independent customer reference.

The TurboBudget dashboard: net worth, month-to-date spending, budget status, cumulative expense chart, accounts snapshot and recent transactions — The dashboard: net worth, spending pace vs last month, budgets, accounts and recent transactions — one screen, kept current by bank sync.

The TurboBudget budgets screen: categories with budgeted vs actual amounts, and an AI Insights panel flagging an over-budget category — Budgets with AI Insights: the assistant flags an over-budget category and celebrates savings, straight from the user’s own numbers.
