In this episode…Financial advisors are overwhelmed with administrative tasks that distract them from client engagement and strategic planning. From manual data entry to prepping and debriefing after meetings, these time-consuming workflows reduce their ability to scale personalized service. With AI advancing rapidly, how can advisors reclaim their time while ensuring accuracy and compliance?
Mark Gilbert, an expert in product development and artificial intelligence, shares how financial professionals can leverage AI to automate unstructured client interactions — like emails and phone calls — into structured, actionable data. He explains how his team uses multiple large language models in parallel to ensure accurate output and eliminate hallucinations. This approach, he notes, is most effective when guided by real advisor pain points rather than by chasing the latest AI trends. Mark also offers practical strategies for increasing internal trust and adoption of AI through transparency, audit logs, and a user-friendly interface.
