How Mathi keeps answers honest
Topic guard
Every message is checked first. Only money questions go forward, anything else is politely declined.
Your real numbers
Mathi reads figures from Valam's finance engine, not from guesses.
Written in plain words
The answer is written by the built in coach or by an on-device model.
Numbers checked
Figures in the reply are checked against your ledger before you see it, and a policy filter removes unsafe advice.

Runs on your device
The on-device model answers without sending your questions to a server.
Numbers checked
Figures in a reply are checked against your ledger before you see them.
Only money topics
Anything unrelated to money is declined before it reaches the model.
Drafts, never decisions
Mathi can prepare an expense or payment for you, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
Three ways Mathi can think
Built-in coach
Fast, works offline and needs no download. It covers a wide range of money questions with templates and 187 guides.
On-device model
Optionally download a small language model that runs entirely on your phone. Checked against a published hash before use.
Think harder (Plus)
For tough questions you can opt in to a cloud model. A sanitised question is sent, with transaction text and your own merchant and people names removed first.
What Mathi will not do
- Move or send money, or pay a bill for you
- Pick specific investment products or promise returns
- Chat about topics unrelated to money
- Save anything without your confirmation
- Ask for passwords, PINs or your recovery key
If a message suggests you are in distress, Mathi shares helpline information such as Tele-MANAS 14416 and the emergency number 112 before anything else.
