Australians are turning to artificial intelligence to manage their household budgets and analyse spending as cost-of-living pressures drive demand for advice.

Among those benefiting is Ansh Punia, a 20-year-old Melbourne cybersecurity student who earns up to $15,000 a month helping households and businesses use AI to improve productivity and reduce costs.

'The value isn't in using AI for the sake of it. It's in solving a problem that was previously costing time or money,' he told the Daily Mail.

'It's funny how the same technology can be used for something as complex as a business financial system and something as simple as deciding what to cook for dinner.'

Customers are increasingly using AI to analyse spending patterns, identify recurring costs, build shopping lists, generate meal plans and automate administrative tasks, he said.

Mr Punia said clients also use AI to categorise expenses, identify forgotten subscriptions and develop personalised fitness and budgeting plans that save time and money.

'I was working in a warehouse while studying. I eventually realised that instead of just learning these skills for myself, I could actually help businesses solve problems with them,' he said.

Mr Punia said he looked for opportunities on the digital marketplace Airtasker, where users can post job listings and find people to complete everyday tasks within a budget, such as dog grooming or furniture assembly.
