Rain

Rain's AI agent

from alert to action

  • Product design

In short

A skill for Rain's AI financial health agent that turns an alert into a next step.


Overview

Cover me is a skill inside Rain's AI financial health agent, it watches for cash flow gaps before they happen and proposes a fix instead of just flagging the problem. I joined to help the team on the moment the agent hands a decision back to the person it's acting for. This one's still under NDA in places, happy to walk through the actual thinking behind it in a call or interview.


Approach

Before designing anything, we went to the people Cover me is for. We ran interviews with real users and a survey to understand what living paycheck to paycheck actually looks like, and where the struggle sits in the days before payday.

That research shaped how I approached the handoff. The moment the agent stops watching and hands a decision back has to fit into a week or month that's already tight, so the fix arrives ready to act on, not as one more thing to figure out.


Outcome

TargetDefined before handoff, not measured · I left before launch

Goal 01

People act on the fix

The agent proposes a fix for a cash flow gap, and the real test is whether people say yes to it.

Measured by · acceptance rate, accepted ÷ proposed

Goal 02

Helped, not pushed

A yes only counts if people leave the conversation feeling the agent was on their side.

Measured by · conversation satisfaction
