A mobile app that recommends a starter credit card based on the user's profile, then automatically assigns a few small recurring expenses (like a streaming subscription or gas fill-up) to the card and schedules full balance payments before the due date. It tracks credit score progress, sends alerts if spending deviates from the plan, and provides a simple dashboard showing credit-building milestones toward goals like mortgage readiness.
