How We Use Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) presents a unique opportunity for financial institutions seeking to deliver highly personalized services that not only meet but also anticipate their users’ needs.

In this article, we will explore the vast potential of Gen AI, how intelligent agents are transforming the financial sector, their key use cases, and how banks can prepare to adopt this game-changing technology.

What Are AI Agents, and Why Are They the Future of Personalized Financial Experiences?

The integration of Gen AI unlocks new possibilities for hyper-personalization. With this technology, businesses can offer conversational experiences and recommendations tailored to each user’s specific circumstances.

Gen AI agents enable natural interactions, leveraging data to generate real-time responses in natural language. These systems can be enhanced with personalization services, such as AWS Personalize, to recommend financial products and services based on user data.

Unlike traditional chatbots with predefined interactions, services like AWS Bedrock allow for the creation of autonomous assistants that operate based on a foundational knowledge base and Gen AI models.

As a result, a virtual assistant powered by Gen AI within a banking app could analyze a user’s income, expenses, and financial behavior in real time. Instead of merely displaying relevant financial products, this agent could act as a personal advisor, suggesting savings strategies, investment opportunities, and even recommending products such as a credit card with benefits tailored to the customer’s spending habits.

Virtual assistants powered by Gen AI represent a tremendous opportunity to create richer, more meaningful user experiences. Below, we will explore specific use cases for this technology in the financial sector. To learn more about AI-powered virtual assistants, also known as intelligent agents, we invite you to explore our success story in the insurance industry.

Use Cases of Gen AI in the Financial Sector

The combination of Gen AI and predictive analytics is being implemented in the financial sector to create highly personalized use cases that enhance customer experiences, such as:

• Predicting Financial Needs: Banks can anticipate major financial milestones, such as mortgage loans or investment products, and provide timely recommendations.
• Personalized Financial Health Management: AI agents can analyze expenses and income, proposing savings strategies and financial products to optimize users’ financial health.
• Risk Models Based on Non-Financial Behavior: By analyzing non-financial data, AI can better assess customer risk profiles, improving credit decision-making.
• Enhanced Customer Support: Smart conversational agents provide instant, personalized responses, optimizing the user experience and making financial products and services more accessible.

How Can Financial Institutions Prepare to Implement Gen AI Solutions?

To successfully automate tasks using AI-powered intelligent agents, financial institutions must take strategic and technical steps. We summarize these into three key actions: Removing information silos, creating a unified user vision, and developing the organization’s predictive capabilities. For an in-depth look at these steps, we invite you to read our article on predictive analytics.

Gen AI and the Future of Banking Experiences

Rather than offering static product recommendations, Gen AI can guide users through dynamic conversational experiences, suggesting financial actions with a personalized advisory tone, answering questions in simple language, and, in some cases, even anticipating future needs.

Solutions like AWS Personalize and AWS Bedrock make AI implementation more accessible and hold the potential to completely transform the bank-customer relationship, allowing every customer to feel truly understood and supported.
