Use this for mortgage planning. It pulls live FRED rates, lets you adjust assumptions, and visualizes payments and amortization. It will also open for general prompts (e.g., 'calculate my mortgage') and start with sensible defaults if no numbers are provided. Do not use for unrelated financial products like auto loans or credit cards.
