02 / WORK

Things we've built.

Our own product, and a sample of client engagements.

01Our product · Pre-launch

Financial guidance for women in tier 2-4 India

A product we built ourselves: a vernacular assistant that helps women find the government schemes they qualify for, and then manage the money those schemes bring in.

With her consent, her bank data is shared read-only through an Account Aggregator partner. Aitera is not itself an Account Aggregator. The product turns it into plain-language insight, such as a missing scheme payment and how to claim it. A voice assistant answers in her own language, and a grounded scheme knowledge base for Tamil Nadu and Karnataka explains eligibility, documents and which office to visit. The Account Aggregator connection is planned; the product is pre-launch.

02Fintech infrastructure

Transaction categorization engine

For an Indian B2B fintech provider in the RBI-licensed Account Aggregator ecosystem: an engine that turns raw bank-statement narrations into structured financial categories - income, EMIs, utilities, lifestyle, transfers, investments.

A fine-tuned LLM reads each narration, retrieval over a merchant knowledge base resolves ambiguous merchant names, and a rules layer keeps categories consistent across crores of rows. Banks, NBFCs, wealth managers, and fintech apps run credit underwriting, debt-to-income assessment, fraud detection, and personal-finance dashboards on the output.

03Conversational AI

Voice-first AI coaching product

For a coaching business: an AI coaching companion that speaks in the coach's own voice, built from an archive of raw recordings into a working product.

Conversation flows are grounded in the coach's material through retrieval over session transcripts, a custom voice pipeline reproduces the coach's delivery, and an evaluation loop scores every answer against the source material.

04Payments & compliance

Stablecoin payments platform

For a Middle East-based stablecoin payment platform: AML and compliance tooling for digital-asset money movement.

Transaction monitoring tuned to on-chain patterns, risk scoring on counterparties and flows, sanctions screening, and the reporting pipeline regulators expect - built into the payment path, not bolted on.

05Wealth & advisory

Ask-AI for a family office

For a family office: an AI assistant that gives the relationship manager a daily digest - what moved, what matters, what needs action.

Ingestion pipelines pull news, portfolio data, market events, and KYC/compliance feeds. Entity resolution ties events to holdings, and LLM summarization ranks everything by relevance to the book.
