In a recent keynote, I explored the transformative impact of Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, on the financial sector. These technologies extend far beyond basic tasks like summarizing texts or drafting emails; they serve as powerful analytical and ideation tools. By distilling complex financial reports into concise, understandable insights, they empower financial advisors and mutual fund managers to enhance their productivity.

Hosted by IFA Galaxy on February 24, 2024, the event brought together hundreds of mutual fund distributors from Chennai and other parts of South India. It was an honour to address this distinguished audience and share practical applications of Generative AI in financial advising. My talk focused on real-world examples and prompt engineering techniques that financial professionals can use to navigate investor portfolios more efficiently. This approach not only demystifies AI tools for financial experts but also emphasizes the customization of content to meet the specific needs of the audience, ensuring the examples are both relevant and impactful.

For those interested in the intersection of finance and technology, the full 40-minute discussion is available above. This presentation not only highlights the potential of AI to revolutionize the financial industry but also provides actionable insights for integrating these technologies into professional practice. IFA Galaxy, a leading association of Mutual Fund Distributors based in Chennai, continually fosters knowledge sharing and professional development within the financial community, making this event a landmark occasion for both presenters and participants.
