Proprietary AI Technology

The intelligence that knows your life. Not just your money.

Grace Intelligence is the proprietary AI engine that powers every personalized retirement plan. Built on large language models, the LifePortfolio framework, and a deep understanding of life transition. While EBRI research shows 73% of workers feel anxious about retirement, most tools only address the financial dimension. Grace is the first system designed to close the Life Readiness Gap.

How It Works

What Is Grace Intelligence

A living model of the whole person. Not just their portfolio.

The traditional retirement planning industry was built to answer one question: Can this person afford to stop working? Grace Intelligence was built to answer the harder question: Is this person ready for the life that comes next?

"Most retirement plans stop at the balance sheet. Grace Intelligence starts where the balance sheet ends."

Grace Intelligence is the dynamic intelligence layer that powers every interaction on My Plan Keeper. It continuously integrates life data, financial signals, behavioral patterns, and retirement readiness indicators, synthesizing them into a living, evolving plan.

How Grace Intelligence Is Built

A proprietary intelligence stack built for retirement's full complexity.

Grace Intelligence is not a chatbot layered on a retirement calculator. It is a purposefully designed, five-layer intelligence architecture. The first of its kind built specifically for life transitions.

Built with Anthropic Claude · Perplexity AI · ElevenLabs · OpenAI

1
LifePortfolio Assessment Engine

Every person’s retirement readiness is scored across 8 wellness domains: Financial Wellness, Purpose & Identity, Health & Vitality, Social Connection, Housing & Environment, Mind & Learning, Giving & Legacy, and Life Logistics.

2
Social Determinants of Financial Well-being (SDOF™)

A proprietary psycho-social model that measures five non-financial determinants of retirement readiness: Spending Confidence and Access, Financial Literacy and Cognitive Load, Social Identity and Role Continuity, Advisor Trust and Planning Continuity, and Health and Financial Navigation.

3
Real-Time Intelligence Layer

Real-time retrieval of financial news, Social Security updates, Medicare changes, and market events. Every piece of information is re-contextualized against the individual’s profile before being delivered.

4
Conversational AI Core

Built on Anthropic’s Claude models — powering real-time dialogue, purpose discovery, long-form plan generation, and emotionally nuanced retirement transition conversations. ElevenLabs provides natural voice for phone-based conversations.

5
Context Engine & Retirement Taxonomies

A proprietary Context Engine routes every conversation through a retirement-specific taxonomy. It surfaces the gaps most retirement plans never see and generates a prioritized action plan rooted in the individual’s values, timeline, and life stage.

Conversational Intelligence

Grace doesn't report on your retirement. She thinks about it with you.

At the core of Grace Intelligence is a conversational AI designed to do what no advisor has time to do: be present, curious, and deeply personal across every dimension of retirement readiness, 24 hours a day.

Grace Intelligence: Sample Interaction

R
I've got $1.8M saved. I keep telling myself I should feel ready to retire, but I don't. And I can't figure out why.

Robert, 63 · LifePortfolio Purpose Score: 2/10

Grace AI
Robert, what you're describing has a name, and it's not a financial problem. Your savings are strong. What your plan hasn't addressed yet is the life side of this equation: what you'll actually do on a Tuesday in January when the meetings stop. Your Purpose score in the LifePortfolio is a 2. That tells me you haven't yet built a vision for your days, your identity, or what gives you meaning outside your career. Can we work on that together?

The Life Readiness Gap

The gap most retirement plans never address.

The financial industry has mastered one question: Can you afford to retire? But as research from the Center for Retirement Research demonstrates, financial readiness alone does not predict successful retirement outcomes. Grace Intelligence was built to answer the harder question.

Three Dimensions of the Life Readiness Gap

Sub-Gap 1

Purpose Gap

"I haven’t built a plan for what I’ll actually do."

  • No vision for daily structure, routine, or meaning
  • Professional identity still tied entirely to work
  • No intentional design of social connections post-retirement
  • No engagement with hobbies, contribution, or legacy activities
Who it hits: People already retired, 1–2 years out, or anyone who rated Purpose 1–3 on the LifePortfolio.

Sub-Gap 2

Health & Vitality Gap

"I haven’t planned to be healthy — just to pay for being sick."

  • Financial planning covers healthcare costs, not healthcare behaviors
  • No proactive plan for physical fitness or mental health
  • No plan for cognitive health maintenance
  • No awareness of how health trajectory affects LTC needs and Medicare costs
Who it hits: Anyone who rated Health & Energy 1–3 on the LifePortfolio, or selected "My health declining" as a concern.

Sub-Gap 3

Life Logistics Gap

"I don’t know what I need to figure out — or in what order."

  • No clarity on Medicare enrollment, SS claiming, and RMD timing
  • No organized system for financial documents and estate basics
  • Doesn’t know what they don’t know — the meta-gap
  • Overwhelmed by the complexity of retirement decisions
Who it hits: Anyone selecting "Getting my plan organized" — high-probability for people 3–10 years from retirement.

The Whole Person

Eight wellness domains, one integrated intelligence

Grace Intelligence does not optimize a portfolio. It builds a life. The LifePortfolio framework scores each person across eight wellness domains, giving Grace the full picture of where someone is ready, and where the real gaps live.

Financial Wellness
Income confidence, withdrawal strategy, Social Security, Medicare readiness
Purpose & Identity
Who you are when work stops — values, meaning, and intentional daily structure
Health & Vitality
Proactive health behaviors, cognitive maintenance, and care planning trajectory
Social Connection
Relationships, community, belonging, and preventing isolation in retirement
Housing & Environment
Where and how you live — aging in place, downsizing, and environmental fit
Mind & Learning
Continued growth, intellectual engagement, and lifelong learning in retirement
Giving & Legacy
Purpose beyond self — philanthropy, family legacy, and living impact
Life Logistics
Decision sequencing, document organization, estate basics, and knowing what you don’t know
