The problem statement

Case Challenge: The Wealth Advisor SmartAssist Prototype

UBS Pitch 2024! Your challenge is to harness new and emerging technologies with the aim to develop a groundbreaking prototype for a "Wealth Advisor SmartAssist." This innovative tool aims to empower wealth advisors by providing real-time insights and prompts during client interactions, improving their ability to offer comprehensive financial advice.

When it comes to banking-adjacent products, think beyond traditional banking! Think of an ecosystem full of possibilities. Why not explore healthcare, will and trust services, real estate or philanthropy seamlessly integrated into your banking experience? As an example, your prototype could use the client’s aggregated data, voice-to-text, GenAI and a sampling of products to generate real-time prompts for the advisor while they’re speaking to the client.
