AI Financial literacy. Better lives. Bigger economy.

Allvesta Founder & CEO Tamara Kostova joins GAEA Talks, a long-form AI podcast exploring the ideas, people and breakthroughs shaping artificial intelligence. In this conversation, Tamara discusses AI-powered financial literacy, the barriers preventing more people from investing, and why financial literacy is ultimately an economic issue — not simply a personal-finance one.

What if we thought about financial health the same way we think about physical health?

Health is more than the absence of illness. It's about enabling people to live full, productive and resilient lives.

Perhaps it's time we started thinking about our finances in much the same way. Financial health isn't simply having a bank account or access to an investment platform. It's having having the confidence to make informed decisions, build long-term resilience and put your savings to work for your future.

For years, our industry has focused on making investing more accessible. But access alone doesn't create investors.

Confidence is the key

If we can help more people understand investing, trust the decisions they make and feel empowered to participate, the benefits extend far beyond individual financial outcomes.

When more people invest with confidence, household savings become productive capital. That capital can fund businesses, support innovation and strengthen local capital markets. Over time, that creates more opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors and society as a whole.
