Operation HOPE has launched Juanita, its AI financial coach, inside the HOPE in Hand mobile app. Users can now download the app on Apple and Android devices. This move makes personal financial advice easier to reach. Operation HOPE is a non-profit organisation that helps low and moderate income Americans succeed in an evolving economy. Through Juanita, individuals receive support with everyday financial decisions and long-term financial goals.

Operation HOPE introduced Juanita in August 2026 as part of its HOPE AI™ initiative. This AI financial coach offers free financial education and advice around the clock. Specifically, Juanita covers budgeting, saving, credit, debt reduction, and financial goal setting. Now, users can chat with her directly from their smartphones.

John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE, stressed the need for open access. Bryant also co-chairs HOPE AI™ with Van Jones. Jones is the Founder of Dream Machine, a media personality, an entrepreneur and a best-selling author.

"Financial guidance should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it," said John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE.

Juanita Honors a Mother's Legacy​

Juanita carries the name of Juanita Murray Smith, the mother of John Hope Bryant. She raised her children as a single mom in South Central Los Angeles. However, she lost everything during her divorce. Even so, she built her financial knowledge and skills. She later owned several properties and became a millionaire. Her story inspired the creation of Juanita. The coach aims to help individuals and families gain access to financial education and build a better future.

"My mother taught me firsthand how financial knowledge can change the trajectory of a person's life, and Juanita is a tribute to her legacy and the lessons she instilled in me. By bringing Juanita into the HOPE in Hand app, we're putting the power of AI-driven financial education directly into people's hands, giving them another tool to build financial confidence, make informed decisions and create a stronger financial future," Bryant added.

HOPE AI™ Expands Financial Empowerment​

Juanita works alongside Operation HOPE's network of certified financial coaches. The AI financial coach delivers immediate, on-demand help. In addition, it helps users build the knowledge and confidence to take their next step. Juanita is the first client-facing solution developed through HOPE AI™. Consequently, it marks a significant milestone for the initiative.

HOPE AI™ is a first-of-its-kind collaboration. It unites Operation HOPE, Dream Machine, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, UNCF, 100 Black Men of America and Shopify. Together, these partners use AI to expand access to trusted coaching, financial education and economic opportunity. Moreover, the HOPE in Hand integration shows the initiative's steady progress. It delivers AI-powered financial empowerment directly to individuals and families in underserved communities.

Users can download the free HOPE in Hand app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Meanwhile, Juanita stays available to everyone who signs up for Operation HOPE services at portal.operationhope.org.
