"The successful delivery of AI-driven financial services depends on a robust ecosystem involving financial institutions, service providers, and content creators. Moving forward, closer collaboration across the industry will be crucial in enhancing the accessibility of financial services."

"By putting users at the center, AI helps investors organize the information they need and delivers personalized services," said Wang Xiaohang, Vice President of Ant Group, CTO of Ant Fortune and Ant Insurance. "Generative AI technology not only enhances how investors interact with financial management services but also transforms the services themselves. By leveraging AI models tailored to professional service sectors, and with the model's powerful capabilities in general knowledge, understanding, and communication, Maxiaocai can seamlessly integrate financial products, market information, and other services on the Ant Fortune platform, making digital professional financial services accessible to all."
