# Introduction

Selene Intelligence is AlgoPear's AI-native wealth building platform for members of credit unions and community financial institutions. It helps everyday members build wealth through guided investing, budgeting, financial goals, and AI-powered strategy recommendations.

Selene is designed to live **inside your digital banking experience** — embedded as an iframe so members never leave the institution's app.

## What Selene does for your members

* Connects their bank account securely via Plaid
* Opens a brokerage account and completes KYC in a guided flow
* Recommends an AI-driven investment strategy based on their goals
* Executes and tracks investments via Alpaca
* Provides a wealth dashboard showing portfolio progress over time

## How the integration works

Candescent surfaces a **Wealth** entry point in the member's digital banking dashboard. When the member taps it, Selene loads as an embedded iframe — authenticated automatically via SSO handoff. No separate login, no new account creation required.
