Artha

Artha is Invesh’s AI wealth assistant — ask in plain English, attach statements, and approve changes before they land.

Last reviewed 2026-10-17

Artha is Invesh’s in-product AI wealth assistant. Ask in plain English about your portfolio, request a change, or attach a statement — without giving up control over what gets written.

Open Artha from the top navigation (or the mobile bottom bar), or start from a type dashboard with AI Import / Import with Artha (see below).

On the Artha home, a time-of-day greeting leads the page — for example Good evening, Alex — with portfolio chips and starters below when you already track investments.

Chats sidebar

Past conversations live in a Chats sidebar instead of a History dialog:

  • On wide screens, the sidebar sits beside the chat and can be hidden or shown
  • On narrower screens, chats open as a left drawer (Open chats)
  • New chat and the settings gear sit at the top of the sidebar
  • Search chats by title; lists group by day (Today, Yesterday, weekdays, then older dates)
  • Pinned chats stay in their own section at the top
  • Empty state: No conversations yet with a New chat button

On the home landing, a Continue strip can show recent chats; See all chats opens the sidebar when it is not already visible.

Thread header

In an open chat:

  • The title shows in the header — click it to rename when you can edit
  • New chat appears as an icon when the sidebar is hidden
  • Chat options (⋯) offers Export (Markdown download of this chat), Pin / Unpin, and Delete (saved investments are not touched)

Settings

Open settings from the sidebar gear (or Cmd+, / Ctrl+,). Tabs:

TabWhat you control
GeneralAnswer length (Short / Balanced / Detailed), Language (English / Hindi), Show work steps, Follow-up suggestions, and Ask before saving (always on — Artha stages changes for your approval)

What Artha is for

  • Asking questions about holdings and portfolio context available to the assistant
  • Uploading PDFs, images, or spreadsheets so Artha can extract candidate data
  • Guided create flows for live types (create account, add snapshot, add holding, add PPF or EPF transaction, review many creates at once)
  • Proposing changes that you review before they are applied

Portfolio summary on the Artha home

When you already track investments, the home shows chips under the greeting:

SurfaceWhat it shows
Net worth chipRupee total for your portfolio; tap to ask Artha about net worth
% vs invested chipPerformance as up / down X% vs invested when it can be shown — not a 6-month deposit-trend percent
Waiting for youWhen approvals are pending, a chip (or on phones a banner with Review)

How the return is calculated

  • Worth (the rupee total) still includes bank balances
  • Gain and % vs invested use Stocks, Mutual Funds, US Stocks, Fixed Deposit, Public Provident Fund, and Employee Provident Fund only — Bank Account is left out of both the gain and the invested base, so cash is not treated as profit
  • The percent is hidden when there is no positive invested base (for example bank-only), instead of a misleading figure
  • US Stocks join that return only when a usable USD/INR rate is available — the same check as the Wealth Dashboard (a stored rate that is a finite number greater than 0)
  • When US stocks are included, hovering the Net worth chip can show the rate used and rate as of a short calendar date for the quote’s fetch time (for example 17 Oct 2026)
  • Without that rate, US stocks stay out of the gain and invested base; if you hold US stocks, Artha shows the same US stocks are excluded from this view notice as Wealth

This matches the idea on the Wealth Dashboard: bank cash stays in net worth, not in return, and US stocks join INR return figures only with a usable rate.

Composer shortcuts

In the message box you can type:

  • / — pick from suggested Actions (starter prompts)
  • @ — mention an investment account (or type label) so Artha knows which one you mean

The placeholder reads Ask a question, request a change, or attach a file…

Starting from AI Import

From a live type dashboard, Add → AI Import (or Import with Artha in the setup wizard) opens a new Artha chat with the composer already filled for that product — for example Help me add holding to Stocks or Help me add transaction to EPF.

The message is not sent automatically. Edit it, attach a statement, then send when you are ready.

Clarification questions

When Artha needs a choice from you, it shows a questionnaire in the chat card:

  • Pick an option (letter shortcuts work), or type Other… when that is offered
  • For more than one question, use Previous / Next and the N of M progress label
  • Skip appears when skipping is allowed
  • After you submit, the card settles as answered

Switching workspace from Artha

If Artha proposes opening a different workspace, Invesh does not switch you automatically. You see a confirm dialog:

  • Title: Switch workspace?
  • Explanation names the target (for example Artha wants to open Family Portfolio. Your current workspace stays active until you confirm.). If the name is missing, it says another workspace
  • Stay here — dismiss the dialog and keep your current workspace
  • Switch — move to that workspace (then a success toast such as Switched to Family Portfolio)

Until you choose Switch, your active workspace does not change.

When Artha acts on your behalf

Investment creates, updates, and deletes for live types still go through Review & approve before anything is written. For a few other product actions that succeed during a chat, Artha shows a short info toast so you know what happened — for example:

  • Artha created a support ticket on your behalf.
  • Artha requested a data export on your behalf.
  • Artha submitted feedback on your behalf.
  • Artha updated your preferences.
  • Artha marked notifications as read.

You get one toast per action type for that reply, not a separate toast for every repeated tool call.

Charts and other reply content

When a chart in the reply cannot be drawn, Artha shows This chart could not be shown. instead of a broken blank. Tables, diagrams, and other reply content stay as readable text when they cannot be rendered as interactive media.

What Artha is not

  • Not a licensed financial advisor and not a guarantee of investment outcomes
  • Not an unsupervised bot that silently edits your ledger — write paths require your approval
  • Not a substitute for type dashboards — it complements tracking

Password-protected PDFs

Artha cannot read a PDF that still has a password. There is no password field — Invesh never asks for or stores the PDF password.

When a protected PDF is rejected, you see a toast such as:

This PDF is password-protected, so we can't read it. Open it with its password, save or print it as a new PDF without a password, then upload that copy. We never ask for or store your password.

Open the file with its password on your device, save or print an unlocked copy, then upload that copy.

Document import loop

  1. Start a conversation or upload a file in Artha
  2. Artha extracts or proposes structured data (accounts, snapshots, holdings, or PPF / EPF transactions)
  3. You review what will be written
  4. When you Approve, Invesh applies the change and dashboards update

If something looks wrong, reject or edit rather than forcing a bad import through.

While Artha works, you may see Thinking, Awaiting approval, and Approve states in the chat. Work steps can stay folded into one line or open — control that under Settings → General → Show work steps.

Assisted create flows (live types)

From Artha you can start focused flows for the enabled types:

IntentWhat you do
Create accountStart an account for bank, stocks, US stocks, mutual funds, fixed deposit, Public Provident Fund, or Employee Provident Fund
Add bank snapshotRecord a balance for a bank account
Add one holdingAdd a stock, US stock, mutual fund, or fixed deposit position
Add PPF transactionAdd a deposit, lump sum, interest, or withdrawal
Add EPF transactionAdd a monthly contribution, interest, withdrawal, or lump sum with employee, employer, and pension amounts
Add many holdingsAdd many stock, US stock, mutual fund, or fixed deposit rows at once

Reviewing a single change

When Artha stages one create, update, or delete for Bank Account, Stocks, US Stocks, Mutual Funds, Fixed Deposit, Public Provident Fund, or Employee Provident Fund, Review & approve opens the same guided form dialog used for manual entry — prefilled from the staged step.

  • Create — confirm or edit the fields, then save. The staged account stays attached
  • Update — the dialog shows the record with Artha’s proposed edits. Approving writes only the staged patch (edits you make to those patched fields are kept; other field edits are dropped)
  • Delete — the dialog shows the record so you can confirm. Approving deletes that staged id; edits in the form are ignored
  • Cancel (or close the dialog) — return to Artha without writing anything

Bulk review is unchanged.

Reviewing many creates at once

When Artha stages two or more creates of the same kind (accounts, balance snapshots, holdings, or PPF / EPF transactions), the workflow card shows a summary row instead of listing every item in chat.

  • Open Review & approve to edit and approve the batch on a dedicated review page
  • Holdings are grouped by broker or platform account — if Artha stages stock holdings for two brokers, you see two rows (for example, “Add 2 stock holdings · My Zerodha” and “Add 2 stock holdings · Groww Portfolio”), each with its own review sheet
  • Each holdings review sheet uses the same account selector as Add several (Bulk Add), preselected to that broker or platform — change it only if you need to move the batch
  • Account creates, balance snapshots, and PPF / EPF transaction batches still group by kind (not by account)
  • A broker or platform with only one staged holding uses the single-change guided review above
  • Large holdings batches use the same paginated spreadsheet as Add several (Bulk Add) (50 rows per page by default, footer total, Save All for the full set)
  • After you approve some rows, the summary count shows what is still pending
  • Only the next ready step shows Review & approve; other steps stay in order
  • Rows you remove on the review page stay pending in chat until you handle them — they are not created

Possible duplicates

When a staged create looks identical to something you already have — or to another row in the same batch — Artha shows a soft Possible duplicate warning. It is advisory only; you can edit, remove the row, save anyway, or cancel.

  • Single review (one snapshot or transaction): an amber notice appears above the guided form
  • Bulk review: flagged rows show an amber warning icon (instead of the row number) and a light amber tint; hover the icon for whether the match is another row in this batch or a record you already have

Uploaded files also appear in the workspace Files library for later download.

From the composer, Recent files lets you attach uploads you already have. It uses the same list/grid library views and type filters as Files. Removing a saved library file from the chat only detaches it from that message — it stays in Files until you delete it there.

Privacy and trust

Treat uploads as sensitive financial documents. Prefer official Invesh app surfaces; do not paste secrets into untrusted channels.

In Artha → Settings → About (and the privacy summary under Data & privacy), the note says:

  • Your files and chats are sent over encrypted connections
  • We don’t sell your data
  • Artha uses OpenAI’s API, and OpenAI’s API terms say data sent through the API isn’t used to train their models
