about solus
Solus is your financial companion — it tracks and splits expenses right in the messaging apps you already use.
What is Solus?
Solus is your financial companion. It tracks and splits personal, group, and business expenses in the messaging apps you already use — WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, Slack, or Teams. Solus lives where your conversations happen so you never have to open another app to track your money.
The Problem
Existing expense tools require you to remember to open an app, manually enter data, and awkwardly chase friends for payments. They're databases, not agents. Meanwhile, other tools can read a receipt if you ask — but they can't remember your running balance, track a 6-month lease, or nudge your roommate to pay rent.
How It Works
Text Solus to log a receipt, track a subscription, or draft a budget. Get alerts before free trials expire and return windows close. See visual breakdowns of your spending health — all without opening the app.
Solus monitors your group chats and automatically tracks who paid for what. Smart receipt scanning identifies individual orders down to the line item. Friendly nudge reminders and one-tap settlement links (Venmo, Interac, CashApp) handle the awkward parts.
Deploy Solus in Slack or Teams in 30 seconds. Employees DM a receipt photo and Solus parses it, matches it to a corporate card transaction, and logs it directly into your accounting software. Real-time dashboards flag anomalies before finance even sees them.
What Makes Solus Different
Unlike closed ecosystems, Solus works across 50+ integrations — WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Teams, Notion, Google Sheets, Outlook, and more. Your data goes where you need it.
End-to-end encryption, zero data retention for message content, and enclave computing. No one — not even us — can see your financial data.
Solus doesn't wait for you to ask. It proactively tracks expenses from chat context, nudges friends to settle debts, and alerts you to expiring subscriptions. It understands intent and deterministic code ensures 100% financial accuracy.
Why Now
Rising housing costs have driven a 30% increase in shared living arrangements. 90% of Gen Z prefers digital settlement over cash. Users are rejecting standalone apps in favor of agents that live where conversations happen. The market for conversational finance is ready — and Solus is building it.
The Vision
Solus is building toward the Social Financial OS — a secure, intelligent layer that sits on top of your financial life. Not another app to learn, but a companion that makes the tools you already use (Slack, Excel, Venmo, your group chat) smarter. One agent for all your finances.
