The hypothesis behind Intuit’s Nirmala Ranganathan’s experiment poses that artificial intelligence and behavioral science can empower customers to be more financially literate and savvy. While many folks set financial goals, strategizing a savings plan can be difficult, resulting in risk and uncertainty – especially in emergency situations. By building upon users’ existing behaviors, Intuit can help them improve their financial resilience.

Ranganathan’s end result, which Ranganathan dubs “Shield,” involves a series of personality-based quizzes and tailored recommendations to help users make better financial decisions. It uses behavioral science to gain a deeper understanding of our customers and personalize their experience.
