AI Tools Enhance Adviser Efficiency
JPMorgan’s proprietary Coach AI platform has significantly improved the speed and quality of client advisory services. According to Reuters, the platform enables advisers to access client data and market insights up to 95% faster, reducing research time and allowing more focus on client interactions. In April 2025, when U.S. tariff announcements triggered a spike in market volatility, with the VIX reaching 60, AI tools proved critical. Mary Erdoes, CEO of JPMorgan’s Asset and Wealth Management division, noted that these tools provided real-time data analysis and anticipated client inquiries, enabling advisers to deliver timely, tailored advice.
By analyzing trading patterns and client preferences, AI systems help advisers craft personalized financial plans swiftly, fostering stronger client relationships. A Harvard Business School case study, cited by Reuters, underscores the impact of these generative AI tools on the bank’s 4,000 advisers serving high-net-worth clients, highlighting their role in navigating complex market dynamics.

Sales Growth and Cost Savings
JPMorgan’s 20% growth stems from AI tools that allow advisers to prioritize client engagement over administrative tasks. The bank’s US$17 billion technology budget in 2024 supported the deployment of generative AI tools across the desktops of over 200,000 employees, with more than half using them multiple times daily.
AI has also driven significant cost savings, with estimates of nearly US$1.5 billion in efficiencies through improved fraud prevention, trading, and credit decision-making. Reuters and The Economic Times corroborate substantial AI-driven cost reductions, though exact figures vary. Industry analyst Mike Mayo from Wells Fargo projects these financial benefits could grow by an additional US$1 billion, reinforcing JPMorgan’s strategic investment in AI.

Future Expansion Plans
By automating research and administrative tasks, advisers can manage larger portfolios while maintaining service quality. CEO Jamie Dimon expects the bank’s AI use cases to increase from 450 to 1,000 by 2026, signalling a robust commitment to AI innovation. Mary Erdoes emphasized a strategy to make AI tools widely accessible across the organization positioning JPMorgan as a leader in AI-driven financial services.
The bank faces competition from peers like Goldman Sachs, which has deployed a generative AI assistant for bankers, and Morgan Stanley, which partnered with OpenAI for a financial adviser chatbot, according to The Economic Times.
