Heartcore Capital and existing backer Mosaic Ventures provided the money, joined by Chalfen Ventures, Joyance Partners and Bain Future Back Ventures. Almost 250,000 UK homes use the agent, which moves people to cheaper car insurance, energy, broadband and mobile deals, cancels subscriptions and fills in forms. Nous said it looks after about £2,765 of each home's yearly spending, and a typical household saves £734 on its bills. The agent uses large language models for most tasks but switches to fixed rules for sensitive actions such as money decisions. Nous said it is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, so it can handle regulated products such as insurance. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
