Evergreen.ai

Can an AI-native financial planning platform deliver institutional-grade, holistic advice to every household at zero cost, then monetize via an attached RIA for users who want human advisors?

The story

Evergreen.ai was founded by Bill Harris—serial fintech entrepreneur and former CEO of PayPal and Intuit, and founder of Personal Capital—as an AI-driven personal financial planning platform aimed at democratizing sophisticated financial advice. Unlike Personal Capital, which served the affluent via human advisors, Evergreen.ai targets the mass market with a self-service AI layer backed by rules-based financial calculations. The platform deliberately avoids LLM probabilistic outputs for financial math, instead combining AI-natural-language interfaces with deterministic tax and planning engines. Revenue model is nascent: the core app is free through 2028 beta, with human advisory and investment management upsold through the affiliated SEC-registered RIA, Evergreen Wealth Advisors. Lineage: Evergreen Money (2024, high-yield checking on Coastal Community Bank) → Evergreen Wealth (2025, AI-assisted RIA) → Evergreen.ai (2026, free AI financial guidance in public beta, with Plaid for account linking).
