I remember starting a company several years ago focused on using advanced analytics to improve personal decision-making. This idea morphed over time to a specific use: budgeting. Visualization and making the process quick and super easy are of the utmost importance for "personal analytics".

Visualization with insight in budgeting is pretty easy because you're trying to answer "where do I spend my money?". Categorization needs to be good, but then you just need a distribution.

Mint is surprisingly bad at automatic categorization (failing on things like large transfers that trump all my other data), so I think there is an opportunity here.
