Money Smarts Launches AI-Powered Financial Literacy Platform

Sports Media Inc. today announced the official launch of Money Smarts, a first-of-its-kind gamified financial education platform purpose-built for Gen Z and Millennials who are serious about mastering their money.

The platform combines structured financial literacy courses with game mechanics, real-time leaderboards, achievement badges, and an AI-powered tutor built on Anthropic's Claude to deliver a learning experience that is both engaging and genuinely effective.

Why We Built Money Smarts

A 2025 survey found that fewer than 1 in 3 young adults can answer basic financial literacy questions correctly. Student loan debt in the US has surpassed $1.7 trillion. Credit card balances among adults under 30 are at record highs. The financial literacy crisis is real, and traditional education is failing to address it.

"We built Money Smarts because we saw a generation entering the workforce without the basic financial skills they need to thrive," said Dan Kost, CEO of Sports Media Inc. "Boring lectures don't work. Games do. And AI makes it personal."
