AI in Wealth Management: From Hype to Agentic Reality
Artificial intelligence in wealth management is moving fast—note-takers, digital assistants, predictive analytics—but where are the real benefits for advisors, and where are the pitfalls?
In the latest episode of #WealthTechToday, I sat down with Michael Zebrowski, COO of Docupace, to dig into what’s working, what’s not, and how their partnership with Palantir Technologies is reshaping the data foundation for advisory firms.
Highlights from the conversation:
- From GenAI to Agentic AI: shifting from generic LLMs to assistants that execute workflows at scale.
- Data as a strategic asset: why Docupace chose Palantir Foundry over building in-house.
- Accountability challenges: as “next best action” tools spread, firms must prepare to defend why advice was—or wasn’t—followed.
- Digital assistants in practice: address changes, new account openings, and compliance tasks can now be closed in minutes, not hours.
- The “Uberization” of advice: AI directing not just what to do, but when and how to do it.

For executives, the key takeaway is clear: AI will not stay theoretical for long. The winners will be firms that prepare their data pipelines, embrace orchestration, and integrate digital assistants into everyday workflows. Those who wait risk being left behind.
