🤑 Ant Group releases LLM for insurance and wealth management use cases

Ant Group, a financial services arm of China's Alibaba, has announced that it's trained a financial LLM for wealth management and insurance industries. According to the Ant Group, the financial LLM could power high quality wealth management services, such as market analysis, portfolio diagnosis, asset allocation suggestions, and investor education. The application has been in closed testing for about six months and will be released to customers once it receives regulatory approval.

There's long been a need for high quality, affordable wealth management services, so it's exciting to see how generative AI is being leveraged to meet the need. Traditionally, human advisors were the main enabler for providing high quality, personalized services, and scaling humans has come with a hefty price tag.

When can we expect to see services like this in the U.S.? We don't think that there's much technological barrier to providing such services, given the pace of innovation and technological capabilities in the leading tech and fintech firms. However, regulations and lobbying from interested parties (such as those who profit from a human advisor model) are likely going to be the biggest roadblocks. Just like the writers in Hollywood, these human advisors are likely going to see an AI-powered wealth management service as a threat to their livelihood. Besides, what if AI hallucinates and tells you to put all your money under the mattress? #notinvestmentadvice

Product Resource ☀️ 

Have you ever said to your team, “Let's just build an MVP to learn quickly"? There's a view that MVP is a selfish process because this framework often results in a product that is too minimal to be actually useful for customers. Instead, consider building a SLC (Simple, Lovable, Complete) product to get your users—even a small base— to love it.
