  • Publication number: 20240346579
    Abstract: A real-time activity recommendation system receives an input from a user device regarding a targeted financial goal, such as a target credit score. Using machine learning models to evaluate patterns of user activity that contribute positively towards the goal, and to evaluate the limitations and opportunities of the user's financial circumstances and profile, the recommendation system makes an assessment in real time to determine user actions that can be taken to improve credit health based on a user's profile and activity data. A user-specific recommendation regarding an activity that should be performed to reach the goal is generated and transmitted to the user. User and third party activity is later monitored as the user's financial status changes over time, and the recommendations are updated accordingly.
