| dc.description.abstract | The proposed project, Outlay, is a mobile application that combines expense management with artificial intelligence to provide users with an intelligent financial and lifestyle assistant. The importance of this project lies in addressing a common real-world problem: many individuals struggle to track their daily expenses, maintain a healthy spending balance, and avoid overspending on unnecessary or unhealthy items. Outlay seeks to provide a modern, AI-driven solution that enhances financial awareness, promotes healthier spending habits, and supports long-term savings goals. The project covers several important aspects including: expense tracking (manual and AI-based), monthly budget management, automated reporting with visual charts, lifestyle and health-related expense analysis, and personalized notifications. The main objectives are to help users manage their income and expenses more effectively, encourage responsible financial behavior, and integrate health awareness into daily financial decisions. The methodology involves developing a cross-platform mobile application using Flutter for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and MySQL for data storage. AI models such as Google ML Kit )ocr)will be integrated for image recognition and spending pattern analysis. Although there are existing expense management applications (e.g., Mint, PocketGuard), Outlay is unique because it incorporates AI-based image recognition for expense entry and lifestyle health tracking, offering a smarter and more comprehensive solution compared to existing systems. | |

| dc.description.statementofresponsibility | Many individuals face significant challenges in managing their personal finances effectively. Traditional approaches to tracking expenses, savings, and financial goals rely heavily on manual record-keeping, spreadsheets, or memory, which often results in disorganized data, inaccurate calculations, and a lack of meaningful financial insights. These limitations lead to poor financial awareness and difficulty in making informed financial decisions. Several key problems arise from these traditional financial management methods: ● Lack of Expense Visibility: Users struggle to clearly understand where their money is being spent on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis, making it difficult to control unnecessary expenses. ● Manual Tracking Errors: Manually entering and categorizing expenses is time-consuming and prone to human error, leading to incomplete or inaccurate financial records. ● Absence of Intelligent Analysis: Traditional tools fail to provide smart insights into spending behaviour, savings trends, or the health impact of food-related purchases. ● Difficulty in Managing Financial Goals: Users often find it challenging to plan long-term financial goals such as purchasing a car or managing monthly instalments without proper tracking and reminders. ● Low User Engagement: Without intelligent notifications or automated reminders, users may forget to log expenses or stop using financial tracking tools altogether. Outlay addresses these challenges by offering an intelligent, user-centered solution that integrates automated expense tracking, AI-powered analysis, goal management, and smart notifications, enabling users to gain full control over their financial and lifestyle-related decisions. | |
| dc.description.tableofcontents | The primary goal of Outlay is to provide an intelligent financial management application that helps users track expenses, manage income, and improve savings using artificial intelligence. The specific objectives include: ● Simplify Expense Tracking: Enable users to record expenses easily through manual entry or AI-based receipt analysis. ● Organize Financial Data: Automatically categorize transactions and generate clear daily, monthly, and yearly reports. ● Enhance Savings and Goal Management: Help users monitor savings and manage financial goals with instalment tracking. ● Leverage Artificial Intelligence: Use AI to extract data from receipts and analyze financial and food-related spending. ● Promote Health Awareness: Provide nutritional insights and personalized recommendations based on food purchases. ● Ensure Accessibility: Support multi-language, multi-currency usage across web and mobile platforms. ● Encourage Consistent Usage: Send smart reminders when users are inactive for a defined period | |
