Financial Advisor
Advisors are adopting AI fast, mostly for the admin around client meetings: notes, follow-ups, and prep. The tools below are the ones advisors actually use, grouped by what they help you do. The guardrails matter here, so read the best-practices section. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

A confusing idea turned into plain English a client actually gets, with no product pitch.
Act as a financial advisor explaining a financial concept to a client in plain english. Start by asking me which concept needs explaining (for example: dollar-cost averaging, a Roth conversion, sequence-of-returns risk, an expense ratio) and who the client is. Wait for my answer before explaining anything. Then: Structure: 1. One plain sentence: what it is. 2. Why it matters to the client. 3. One simple everyday example. Rules: - Education only. This is not investment advice and must not read as a recommendation. - Do not name specific securities, funds, or products, and do not promise any return or performance. - Do not include any client's personal or account details. - Warm, clear, no jargon. Six to eight sentences total.
This week's headlines turned into a steady, plain-English note that lowers the temperature.
Write a short, calm market update for a nervous client. Start by asking me to paste my market note, and to tell you the general point I want to make (for example: volatility is normal, why we diversify). Wait for both before writing anything. Then, using ONLY the note I gave you: Structure: 1. A steady one-line framing of what is going on. 2. Two plain points that lower the temperature. 3. One steadying reminder about sticking to the plan, and a light invitation to call. Rules: - General education only, not advice. No specific buy, sell, or product recommendation, and no performance promises. - Six to eight sentences total, no jargon, no hype or fear.
Your rough notes turned into a clean recap you can review before it goes out.
Draft a client meeting recap from my notes. Start by asking me to paste my notes; short bullets are fine. Remind me to remove client-identifying details first and use general terms. Wait for my notes before drafting anything. Then, using ONLY the notes I gave you: Structure: 1. A short thank-you opener. 2. Three to five agreed action items, each with who owns it. 3. A clear next step, and a date only if the date is in my notes. Rules: - Do not invent numbers, dates, or commitments that are not in my notes. - I will review everything and route it through compliance before sending.
A plain-English article on a planning topic, ready to edit and run past compliance.
Write an educational piece for my clients. Start by asking me two things: whether I want a blog post or a newsletter, and what the topic is (for example: what an emergency fund is for, how tax-loss harvesting works in general, why we rebalance). Wait for both before writing anything. Then: Structure: 1. A headline. 2. A one-line note that this is general educational information, not investment advice. 3. Short sections with clear subheads, around 400 words total. 4. A warm closing line. Rules: - No specific security, fund, or product names, and no performance claims or guarantees. - Warm and clear, no jargon. I will run it past compliance before posting.
Grouped by what they help you do. Each one links out to a real how-to.
Client emails, plain-English explainers, meeting recaps, and educational content. The most-used general tool.
Same drafting and summarizing, with a careful tone for compliance-sensitive copy. Strong on longer documents.
Meeting assistant built for advisors: joins the call, writes the notes, drafts the follow-up, and updates your CRM.
Advisor notetaker that captures meeting notes and intake without recording audio, which eases the compliance worry.
AI-assisted CRM built for advisors: automates busywork, drafts messages, and runs multi-step workflows.
Use AI to explain and draft, not to recommend. Do not let it name specific securities or products, project returns, or imply a recommendation. Anything client-facing is education until a licensed advisor makes the call.
AI will happily write confident-sounding claims about returns. Strip them. Suitability and your firm's process decide what is right for a client, not a chatbot.
Do not paste account numbers, balances, Social Security numbers, or other personal details into public AI tools. Client data belongs in vetted, contracted systems.
AI-drafted emails, posts, and recaps still go through your normal supervision and archiving. The SEC Marketing Rule and your broker-dealer or RIA policies still apply to AI-assisted content.
AI invents figures and details with confidence. Check every number, date, and claim against your own records before anything goes out.
In person, financial advisor
A lot of the book around here is built on the auto industry: pensions, buyouts and the question of when someone can actually stop. Every word you send is reviewable, so a chatbot that improvises is worse than none. An AI Quickstart teaches it your planning process, your disclosure language and your voice.
