LoanPlot
ActiveSmarter loan comparison with AI-powered term sheet parsing and side-by-side scenario analysis.
LoanPlot is an experiment in making loan calculations more human. Instead of forcing users to fill out rigid forms, it explores smarter input methods---including AI parsing of loan term sheets---to help people understand and compare mortgage scenarios with less friction.

Design Philosophy
Most loan calculators ask you to already understand loan math before you can use them. LoanPlot inverts this: give it the information you have (a term sheet, a rough idea, a specific question) and it helps you see the full picture. The goal is financial clarity, not financial complexity.
Key Features
- Scenario comparison --- Build and compare multiple loan configurations side by side
- AI term sheet parsing --- Paste or upload a loan term sheet and let the tool extract the key numbers
- Lifecycle visualization --- See how a loan plays out over time, not just the monthly payment
- Total cost analysis --- Compare total interest, APR, and LTV across scenarios
- Expected tenure modeling --- Understand costs based on how long you actually plan to stay, not just the full loan term
Areas of Exploration
LoanPlot is as much a UI experiment as a financial tool. We're exploring questions like: What if a calculator could read the same documents you're reading? What if comparing loans felt more like laying papers on a table than filling out a spreadsheet?
