From documents to decisions
AI for relationship managers, across research, markets and client files.
India has more than 10 crore (100 million) people investing and just over a thousand SEBI registered investment advisers. No firm can hire its way out of a gap that size. The session follows a relationship manager through the working day, and shows how AI that reads a firm's own files and cites every answer gives that time back to clients.
What the session covers
- Why most AI tools stop being used after the pilot.
- What SEBI's January 2025 guidelines mean on the desk: the adviser is solely responsible for advice built on AI output.
- Why an answer has to cite the page it came from, and what an agent looks like when it reads your own files instead of the internet.
