About Squirll Aplicación de Finanzas Persoais

Squirll é unha aplicación de finanzas persoais deseñada para uso móbil e web. Squirll permite aos usuarios facer un seguimento dos gastos, establecer obxectivos e seguir o seu progreso cara ás metas financeiras. Os recibos rexístranse mediante cámara ou por entrada manual, e o recoñecemento de imaxes converte os recibos impresos en rexistros dixitais con categorización automática. O procesamento da linguaxe natural dá soporte a un chatbot que responde a preguntas sobre os gastos en linguaxe cotiá e destaca tendencias e oportunidades de aforro. A interface emprega un tema escuro minimalista con gráficas de alto contraste.

Production Technology: The app uses the leading AI technologies such as image recognition and natural language processing. Image recognition enables accurate receipt scanning and automatic categorization of expenses, reducing manual input and improving data accuracy. Natural language processing powers the interactive assistant, allowing users to ask questions about their spending, receive personalized insights, and set financial goals using everyday language.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to design an experience that empowers users to quickly analyze spending and make optimal financial decisions using AI. We addressed this by introducing smart summaries, clean visualizations, and a conversational chatbot that simplifies complex data.

This integrated AI assistant serves as both a guide and a dynamic reporting tool, monitoring spending to highlight unusual activity and savings opportunities in real time. By translating technical analysis into actionable, plain language insights, the chatbot reduces the mental burden of money management and supports more informed decision making.
Research: We conducted research to address the stress and confusion many adults face in everyday money management. Through interviews, market research, and usability tests, we uncovered key challenges like information overload, inconsistent saving habits, and emotional fatigue around finances. Insights revealed a strong need for intuitive, personalized tools that ease decision making and build confidence over time. These findings shaped Squirll’s conversational design, smart nudges, and emotionally aware feedback.
Inspiration: This design was inspired by premium applications that prioritize both elegance and functionality combining a sleek, minimal dark theme with intuitive navigation. Every detail, from the high-contrast charts to the contextual AI chatbot responses, is crafted to make financial management not just smarter, but genuinely enjoyable. The dark theme makes the interface feel sleek while helping key numbers and charts stand out.
Project Duration: The project was designed in London and went live in 2025.
Operation Flow: Users log their receipts using camera or manual entry, the system analyzes and transforms print receipts into digital. Using AI, the system provides insights about trends and spending patterns for the individual user, highlighting potential tax refunds, expiring warranties, and opportunities to optimize future purchases.
