Calculation first, AI second
The underlying PlanSIP screen/calculation should stand on its own. AI receives result context to explain it; it should not secretly replace deterministic calculations with invented numbers.
PlanSIP AI Mutual Fund Assistant: Explain the Numbers, Don't Replace Them
PlanSIP uses AI as an explanation layer around calculations and historical data. The AI can help translate a result into plain language, compare trade-offs and surface questions to verify. It is not allowed to turn uncertainty into a guaranteed recommendation.

What AI can help with
- Explain why two funds with similar returns can have different risk.
- Describe what drawdown or volatility means in context.
- Offer a second educational perspective on a shortlist.
- Point out limitations and verification steps.
What AI cannot know
It cannot know future returns, your full financial life or every latest scheme document unless that information is supplied and verified. It can also make mistakes.
Fallback and responsibility
If AI is unavailable, the core calculators and historical analysis remain the primary result. Users should verify important financial facts using official sources.
Example: two funds have similar CAGR
Instead of saying “Fund A is best,” a useful AI explanation should identify whether the categories differ, compare drawdown/volatility, note missing history and explain that similar past CAGR does not make the funds interchangeable.
How PlanSIP keeps this transparent
Inputs, assumptions and limitations are shown rather than hidden behind a single recommendation. Historical data and estimated future returns are treated differently. A screen or score is a research aid, not a buy signal.
