Why IOMI

Two objections worth answering before you connect anything: why not just ask a general AI, and why not one of the wealth trackers.

The short version

A general AI now sees your bank feed; IOMI sees your balance sheet. A tracker tells you what you have; IOMI tells you what to do next. One platform: every asset, every entity, one score — and an AI grounded in your real numbers.

IOMI vs a general AI

ChatGPT can now connect your bank accounts. It still can't see most of what you own.

OpenAI's personal finance experience syncs banks and brokerages through Plaid — a real step. But founder wealth doesn't live in checking accounts: it lives in company equity, real estate, private positions, and the assets no bank feed returns. And advice generated by a general model is not the same thing as numbers computed by an engine. That gap is the whole product.

A general AI — ChatGPT with connected accounts, Claude, Copilot, GeminiIOMI
Data completenessConnects bank and brokerage accounts through Plaid — and stops at what Plaid can see. No real estate, no company or private equity, no collectibles, no vehicles.Holds your whole balance sheet: financial accounts plus real estate with live valuations, company equity, private positions, collectibles, vehicles, every liability.
Business + personalOne personal pile. No concept of an LLC or holding company, no per-entity view.Up to 3 business entities alongside your personal wealth — separated, attributed, and consolidated.
No hallucinated mathInsights are generated by the model on top of your synced data — fluent, plausible, and unverified.Net worth, the Capital Efficiency Score and the forecast are computed by a deterministic engine. The AI phrases the numbers, it never invents them.
Proactive, not reactiveA dashboard, memory for your goals, and answers when you ask.Briefs you daily, tracks goals against real balances, flags what changed since yesterday.
PrivacyYour transactions sync into a general-purpose AI provider's systems; synced data is deleted within 30 days after you disconnect.A single-purpose wealth platform. Read-only via Plaid — 12,000+ institutions, credentials never seen, data never sold, never used to train general models. IOMI can never move your money.
And the chat is includedA general assistant with your bank feed.It is not IOMI or an AI assistant. It is an AI assistant that finally has your real balance sheet.

IOMI vs wealth trackers

The trackers are real products and some of them are good at what they do. The difference is where they stop: they tell you what you have. None of them tell you what to do with it.

And the spreadsheet?

Honest work — and always out of date. A spreadsheet is manual, error-prone, blind between updates, and it has never once told you your cash was sitting idle. IOMI is what the spreadsheet wanted to be: live, complete, and opinionated about what comes next.
