Using Gardener AI for financial advice
Gardener reads your own Seed data to explain it, search it, and help you plan. Here is everything it can actually do.
Gardener is Seed's AI financial strategist. It reads your own Seed data to explain it, summarise it, and help you understand what is happening in your finances.
What Gardener can do
- Explain your spending and where money is going
- Analyse your budget and forecast
- Detect recurring charges and subscriptions
- Flag spending anomalies and unusual charges
- Project debt payoff timelines
- Project short-term cash flow and runway
- Review investments and contributions
- Track savings goals
- Explain net worth and its trends
- Search transactions by meaning, not just exact words
- Search line items from scanned receipts, for example how much you have spent on coffee beans
- Search line items from invoices attached to forecast items
- Recall past Gardener conversations
- Remember durable facts you tell it, and forget them when you ask
- Explain how to use the Seed app
Questions worth asking
- Where did my money actually go last month?
- Which subscriptions am I paying for that I barely use?
- If I keep paying this much, when is this card paid off?
- Can I afford this before my next paycheck?
- What is holding my Seed Score back right now?
Nothing changes without your confirmation
Gardener may suggest forecast changes, but anything that creates, updates, or deletes your data requires you to confirm first.
You can react to any answer with a thumbs up or down. That feedback is used to improve responses.

What Gardener will not do
Educational guidance, yes. Licensed advice, guaranteed outcomes, and decisions made for you, no.
How Gardener uses your data, and how to turn AI off
Gardener only ever sees your own account, your data never trains a model, and you can switch AI off entirely.
Scanning receipts
Upload a receipt and Seed reads it into line items, fees, and gratuity. Then you can search your transactions by what you actually bought.
