Ask anything about your activity

You know the questions. How much did I actually spend on coffee last month? Did my grocery bill creep up? What was that charge on the 14th?

Usually, answering them means exporting a spreadsheet, filtering columns, and squinting. In Cowry, you just ask.

Plain questions, grounded answers

On the Insights page you'll find a simple prompt: ask anything about your activity. Type a question the way you'd say it out loud, and Cowry answers in plain language.

• "How much did I spend on eating out in June?"
• "What are my biggest recurring charges?"
• "Show me everything from that airline last quarter."

No special syntax. No categories to memorise. Just your money, in your words.

Every figure is traceable

An answer you can't check isn't worth much. So every number Cowry gives you is backed by the exact transactions behind it. You can see the receipts, not just a headline figure — which means you can trust the answer, or spot the outlier that's throwing it off.

Built on your data, and only your data

The Q&A works from your own transactions. It doesn't guess, and it doesn't reach for information you didn't give it. Your activity stays private — it's never sold, shared, or used to train models.

It pairs with your reading

Questions and readings go hand in hand. A Cowry for thought reading gives you the big picture; asking questions lets you zoom into any corner of it.

The same Activity that answers your questions also powers the end-of-financial-year tax pack — the Tax lens flags transactions that resemble deduction categories, ready for your accountant.

Because asking questions runs on the same insights system as Cowry for thought, it's opt-in and rolling out gradually — off by default, so it may need to be enabled for your account and might not be available on every account just yet.

When it's on, try it next time you're wondering where the money went — the answer is one question away.
