In this episode, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI in the financial sector.

Frank La Vigne and Candace Gillhoolley are joined by Daniel Yoo, founder and CEO of Finmate AI, a company at the forefront of custom agentic AI solutions for financial advisors.

Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is transforming internal operations for advisors, the surprising openness of the finance industry to new data practices, and the commodification of once elite services thanks to advanced automation. The conversation also unpacks industry challenges, from regulatory hurdles to the shifting pipeline of talent in both engineering and finance.

Whether you're interested in the technical underpinnings of agentic AI, policy changes in fintech, or the broader societal implications of AI-driven automation, this episode is packed with insights for data and finance professionals alike.
