The project aims to develop an Ai/ML fintech application called FutureGuard, designed to help users proactively manage their finances in anticipation of economic downturns. The application will allow users to "pay forward" by setting aside funds for future needs, offering a unique alternative to traditional insurance. This approach empowers users to access their savings anytime and provides financial resources during emergencies. The goal is to create a user-friendly platform that integrates seamlessly with existing banking systems, ensuring security and ease of use. The project will focus on developing core functionalities such as user account management, savings tracking, and emergency fund access. By applying classroom knowledge in software development and financial technology, learners will gain practical experience in creating innovative financial solutions.

The project deliverables include a fully functional prototype of the FutureGuard application, complete with user account management, savings tracking, and emergency fund access features. Additionally, a comprehensive user manual and a presentation demonstrating the application's capabilities will be provided. The team will also deliver a report detailing the development process, challenges faced, and solutions implemented.
