TD Securities Cio Dan Bosman told Venturebeat that the main goal of the virtual assistant is to support the sale of front office shares, and retailers receive customer knowledge and research.

Bosman noticed that it feels very unique when you mean a commercial floor near a trading track to be exposed to a large part of the Lingo. The AI assistant must of course sound intuitively and access the knowledge generated by dealers.
Construction of TD AI
Bosman said the idea for the AI assistant came from a member of the share sales team. Fortunately, the bank has a platform called TD Invent, where employees can bring ideas and the Innovation Leadership team can assess projects responsibly.
“Someone in our sales switch for stock research came in and said a lot that I have this idea and brought it to TD Invent,” said Bosman. “What I loved the most about it is when you build something super magical, you don’t have to go out and sell a face or give a face. People come in and tell us:” We want that, we need it “and it is really the best if we bring our investment together in data, cloud and infrastructure.”
TD Security has created the virtual assistant of the TD AI by use OpenaiGPT models. According to Bosman, TD worked with its technology teams and the Canadian AI company Laye 6, which Bank acquired 2018, and other strategic partnerships. The assistant integrates into the Cloud infrastructure of the bank and enables it to access internal research documents and market data such as 13f applications and historical stock data.
Bosman calls TDS AI a knowledge management system, a term that generally carries out his ability to call up Caller augmented generation (LAG) Processes, aggregate and synthesize information in “precise context -related summaries and knowledge” so that its sales teams can answer customer questions.
TD AI Virtual Assistant also offers users access to the Foundation model of the TD Bank, TD AI Prism.
The model, Started in Juneis used throughout the bank and not just for TD securities. During the start, the bank said that TD AI Prisma will improve the predictive performance of the TD Bank applications by processing 100 times more data, replacing its individual architecture models and ensuring customer data.
“The development represented unique challenges, since Gen AI was relatively new to the organization at the beginning of the initiative and required careful navigation of governance and controls,” said Bosman. “Nevertheless, the project successfully brought together various teams throughout the company and promoted the cooperation to deliver a latest solution.”
He added that one of the outstanding characteristics is the text-to-SQL ability that converts the natural language requests in SQL queries.
To train the assistant, Bosman said that TD Securities developed optimizations to facilitate the process.
“With patent optimizations in the accession of Exploval and Dynamic FEW-Shot examples, we successfully achieved the company’s desired performance by context-keeper,” said Bosman. “As a result, the fine-tuning of the underlying Openai model was not necessary in order to interact with unstructured and tabular data records.”
Banks slowly enter the agents -era
Of course, TD Bank and TD Securities are not the only banks that are interested in extending assistants to AI agents.
Bny said venturebeat that it began to offer multi-agent Solutions for his sales teams to answer customer questions, such as: B. those who refer to the support of foreign currencies. Wells Fargo also recorded an increase in the use of his internal AI assistant. For his car sales customers, Capital one built an agent, the Helps you sell more cars.
Many of these applications were created after months of pilot tests, as is the case in any other industry. However, financial institutions have the additional burden of strict data protection and trust responsibility for customers.
Bosman from TD Securities found that many employees themselves are increasingly familiar on the bank’s business side with tools such as Chatgpt. The challenge for assistants and agents of pilotting lies less to inform them about the tools, but the determination of best practice for the use of assistants, integration into existing workflows, the understanding of their limits and the way people can give feedback to reduce hallucinations.
Finally, Bosman said that the assistant would develop into something that even his users outside the bank would like to use in interaction with TD advertising papers.
“My vision is that we consider AI to be something that gives us added value, but also for external customers of the bank. At the moment it is a massive opportunity for us to celebrate a stronger customer experience and offer a better colleague experience,” said Bosman.
