Chat With Your Financial Data: Building a SaaS Metrics Copilot with a Local LLM

A walkthrough of building a local-LLM copilot that turns financial questions into structured analysis over business data.

  • The write-up connects LLM UX to concrete business-data use cases.

This portfolio page keeps a concise internal summary while the full article remains published externally on Medium.

This walkthrough centers on a practical copilot pattern: turning financial questions into structured analysis over real SaaS metrics. The article is less about chatbot novelty and more about how conversational interfaces can sit on top of business data without losing analytical rigor.

It also complements the portfolio’s project work by showing the same pattern from the writing side: model capability matters, but the surrounding data layer, interpretation logic, and trustworthiness of the answer matter more.
