Key Capabilities
Ground your knowledge in live math
Feed the output of `calculate_milestones` directly into your LlamaIndex vector store. This ensures your agent answers questions based on current financial projections rather than outdated documentation. You gain a searchable knowledge base that reflects your actual savings progress. It turns static numbers into queryable context that your agent can reference throughout your research.
Analyze contribution scenarios
Run `simulate_contribution_impact` to generate data points for your knowledge base. LlamaIndex then indexes these results so you can query your agent about how different savings rates affect your timeline. This approach builds a library of financial outcomes that your agent understands semantically. You stop hallucinating future plans and start relying on indexed, verifiable data.
Clarify lifestyle targets
Use `get_lifestyle_targets` to define your retirement needs and store them as indexed facts. Your LlamaIndex agent can then compare these targets against your current portfolio status whenever you ask a question. It brings structure to your financial planning by connecting your goals to actionable data. Your agent becomes a specialized advisor that understands your specific retirement requirements.
