Sammarieo joins to demo *EveryDollar*, an all-in-one financial dashboard. Because Jamaica and the wider Caribbean lack open banking APIs, this app securely parses email transaction alerts (using Google CASA Tier 2 security standards) to bring your real-time spending, budgeting, subscription monitoring, and calendar alerts together. 🤖 *Meet "Eve"*: The AI financial agent helper inside the app that detects unusual behavior (like massive unexpected bills) and lets you cancel subscriptions directly from your screen. 🔒 Security, Deepfakes & Meeting AI Agents The meeting closes with a vital group discussion led by Anne Thornley-Brown, Corrine Stewartson, and Dwayne Stevens. Together they analyze the risks of live deepfake scams, identity impersonation, and the rise of AI note-takers joining invites without authorization—underscoring why JAIA maintains a "humans-only" meeting policy. --- 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS 🌐 EveryDollar Website: [everydollar.tech](https://everydolla.tech/) (Android / iOS Beta) 💼 Connect with Founder Sammarieo Brown on LinkedIn: [Sammarieo Brown](  / sammarieo-brown  ) 🇯🇲 Join & Support JAIA: [jaia.org.jm](https://jaia.org.jm) (Sign up for webinars, become a contributor, and attend our upcoming meetups!) 📞 Try the JAIA WhatsApp Law Bot: Message `1-876-508-1160` on WhatsApp to ask about Jamaican laws with voice capabilities.
