One sentence. Six connectors. Every form filled, every deduction found, every dollar accounted for.
See exactly how ContextWeaver replaces TurboTax — from pulling your W-2 to e-filing with the IRS.
That’s it. You don’t log into ADP. You don’t download PDFs from your brokerage. You don’t manually enter numbers into TurboTax. You don’t Google “can I deduct my home office?” You just say what you want.
The IRS publishes every form, every instruction, every publication — all publicly available. ContextWeaver indexes them into RAG so the AI can read the rules before filling each field.
Think of it like a smart filing cabinet. The entire U.S. tax code is filed away. Before the AI fills any line on any form, it opens the cabinet, reads the relevant IRS instructions, and follows them. Change the tax law? Update the index. The AI’s behavior changes instantly. No code deployments.
Every tax return is different because everyone’s situation is different. ContextWeaver understands three tiers:
The AI merges all three layers for your unique return. Your employer’s benefits + your personal life + current tax law = a return that’s optimized for you.
TurboTax is a middleman. It sits between your data and the IRS. You manually enter numbers that already exist in digital systems. Then it charges you $120+/year for the privilege.
ContextWeaver connects your data sources directly. No middleman. No re-keying numbers. No $120/person/year. The same data flows from ADP → through the AI → onto IRS forms → e-filed. One sentence. Zero screens.
When you say “File my taxes”, here’s what happens in about 30 seconds:
One sentence in. Taxes filed, deductions maximized, refund on the way. No screens. No forms. No $120 fee.
Every box below is a real component running in ContextWeaver. Follow the arrows to see how a single sentence becomes a filed tax return.

Four people say “File my taxes.” ContextWeaver pulls different data, applies different rules, and generates different returns for each.
Side-by-side comparison: how each approach handles tax filing.
| Capability | TurboTax | H&R Block | CPA / Accountant | ContextWeaver |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per return | $89–$219 + $49/state | $55–$195 + $49/state | $200–$800+ (hourly) | ✅ $0 — connector on your platform |
| Data entry method | ❌ Manual typing or photo scan | ❌ Manual typing or import | ❌ You mail/email docs to CPA | ✅ Auto-pull from source systems (API) |
| Deduction optimization | ⚠️ Guided interview (200+ questions) | ⚠️ Guided interview | ✅ Expert judgment | ✅ AI reads IRS rules from RAG + calculates every scenario |
| Multi-source auto-pull | ⚠️ Limited imports (some W-2s) | ⚠️ Limited imports | ❌ You provide everything | ✅ W-2 + 1099s + brokerage + rental — all automated |
| Rental property handling | ⚠️ Manual expense entry | ⚠️ Manual expense entry | ✅ CPA handles | ✅ Pulls from property mgmt API + auto-depreciation |
| Investment / stock trades | ⚠️ CSV import (sometimes breaks) | ⚠️ CSV import | ✅ CPA handles | ✅ Direct API pull + tax-loss harvesting optimization |
| Employer policy awareness | ❌ No idea about your company benefits | ❌ No idea | ⚠️ Only if you tell them | ✅ RAG indexes employer 401k, HSA, ESPP policies |

The tax filing example above used 6 connectors (Payroll + Banking + Brokerage + Real Estate + IRS + Email). But ContextWeaver isn’t a tax app — it’s a platform for building any financial service by combining connectors like Lego blocks:
cw-plaid-banking also powers: budgeting, bill pay, fraud alertscw-brokerage also powers: portfolio rebalancing, smart tradingcw-real-estate also powers: tenant screening, maintenance requestscw-payroll also powers: HR onboarding, benefits enrollment
🧱 Build once. Combine infinitely. — One platform, every financial service.
Tax filing is just one combination of connectors. The same building blocks power financial planning, rental management, expense reports, and anything else you can imagine. Add a connector — unlock a new service.
Tax returns contain the most sensitive data there is — SSNs, income, bank accounts, investment positions. Here’s how ContextWeaver protects it all.
The LLM orchestrates actions but never touches raw credentials or sensitive identifiers.
Think of it this way: the AI is like a tax preparer who can read your pay stubs but never learns your Social Security Number. The engine handles the sensitive parts. The AI handles the intelligence.
Unlike TurboTax, ContextWeaver doesn’t create a copy of your financial life.
Key principle: ContextWeaver is a conductor, not a warehouse. It orchestrates data flow between your existing systems and the IRS. Your data stays where it already is — in the systems designed to protect it. After filing, only the IRS confirmation number is retained.
Every user’s financial credentials are isolated in their own vault partition.
| Credential | Storage | Encryption | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plaid access tokens | Azure Key Vault (user partition) | AES-256 + HSM | Only your requests |
| Payroll API keys | Azure Key Vault (user partition) | AES-256 + HSM | Only your requests |
| Brokerage tokens | Azure Key Vault (user partition) | AES-256 + HSM | Only your requests |
| IRS EFIN credentials | Azure Key Vault (org partition) | AES-256 + HSM | Shared — org-level e-file authority |
| SSN (for e-filing) | Azure Key Vault (user partition) | AES-256 + HSM | Only injected into forms by engine |
Alice’s Plaid token can never be used by Bob. Bob’s brokerage credentials can never be seen by Carol. Every credential is per-user, encrypted, and ephemeral — resolved at runtime, used once, discarded.
Your financial data never lives in ContextWeaver. It flows from source systems → through the engine → to the IRS. The AI orchestrates but never holds sensitive data.
One sentence. Six connectors. Every W-2 pulled. Every 1099 imported. Every deduction found.
The AI read IRS rules, pulled your data from 4 systems, optimized your deductions,
filled 6 forms, e-filed federal & state, and emailed your confirmation.
No screens. No interview. No $120 fee. No re-keying numbers.
And this is just one combination of connectors. The same building blocks power
financial planning, rental management, expense reports, and any other service.
ContextWeaver replaces TurboTax, H&R Block, and manual data entry
with one sentence and 30 seconds of AI-powered automation.
