Abstract The study aims on using Parasuraman's (2000) Technology Readiness Index (TRI) dimensions on optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity as a guiding framework to assess influences on usage intention of AI-based tools for personal finance management (e.g., budgeting/saving/investing/expense tracking). The sample size of 161 active users of AI-based tools based in Mumbai have been used. The data shows no significant difference between men and women in overall TRI or intent to use AI tools. Looking at Gen Z are much more optimistic, innovative and intentional (and a higher percentage hold positive perceptions), whereas Gen Z and millennial might be equally uncomfortable/dissatisfied/insecure pointing to the fact that while the age of the interviewee influences their optimism and interest in adoption, concerns over technology are blind. Innovativeness (r=0.796) has the strongest positive relationship followed by all TRI dimensions with intent. Regression analysis shows a high correlation between the exploratory variables and intent (R = 0.965, R2 = 0.932), which indicates that 93.2% of intent variation is explained by TRI factors in this model. Results highlight that among younger generations, technology readiness is an important factor in incorporating AI-managed personal finance.
