How Pennie Works
Pennie is FiscallyAI's AI-powered guide, a brand mascot that helps present financial information in a clear, approachable format. Here's how our editorial process works:
- AI-Assisted Research: Pennie helps research and structure content based on established financial principles
- Human Editorial Review: All content is reviewed for accuracy and clarity by the FiscallyAI editorial team
- Transparent Disclosure: We're upfront about using AI tools in our content creation process
- Continuous Updates: Content is regularly reviewed and updated as rules and best practices change
Our Research Method
Every article follows a consistent research process. We start with official sources: IRS publications, SEC filings, bank and brokerage product pages, and government financial education resources. We then cross-reference with community experience from Reddit's r/personalfinance, r/FinancialPlanning, and r/povertyfinance to understand how real people use these financial tools and strategies.
When we cover budgeting apps or financial products, our assessments are based on published features, pricing pages, user reviews, and community feedback. We test app interfaces and calculators ourselves when possible. When we haven't tested something firsthand, we say so and base our assessment on documented user experiences and expert analysis.
Our Principles
Financial information grounded in established principles and current data.
Complex topics explained simply, without sacrificing depth or accuracy.
Step-by-step guidance you can implement immediately.

Transparency & Trust
Building trust requires transparency. Here's how FiscallyAI operates:
- Editorial Process: All content is AI-assisted and reviewed by our editorial team for accuracy — we're transparent about this process
- Affiliate Relationships: FiscallyAI may earn commissions from product recommendations — this doesn't influence our educational content (see How We Make Money)
- Educational Purpose: Content is for general education only, not personalized financial advice
- Editorial Independence: Our editorial policy ensures recommendations aren't influenced by affiliate relationships
