From Talk to Task: Insights from Client Conversations

How can we use Generative AI to analyze transcripts or notes of client conversations and automatically extract actionable insights, such as client requests and action items?

Problem

Client conversations contain key pieces of information, but manually analyzing transcripts or meeting notes to extract actionable insights is time-consuming and prone to error. For this challenge, we invite participants to develop a solution that leverages Gen AI to automatically analyze conversation transcripts and extract key pieces of information. The goal is to empower client advisors with concise, accurate, and actionable insights, helping them save time and better serve their clients. The solution should be capable of: - Extracting specific information, such as client requests, and agreed-upon actions. - Ensuring accuracy and relevance, even in the presence of noisy or incomplete data.

Financial Peace of Mind

How would you invest the money from your last exit using an AI for financial peace of mind by turning data into actionable financial advice?

Problem

The manual process of aligning unstructured data (e.g., news, research) with structured data (e.g., financial instruments) is inefficient, error-prone, and can lead to missed investment opportunities. Leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate this process, enabling real-time sentiment analysis, portfolio alignment, and opportunity identification (e.g., "What impact will the latest US tariff threat likely have on my investments, and how should I react?"). Push beyond automation and use agentic AI to generate investment rationales that drive actionable insights and help you achieve financial peace of mind.

Swiss Financial Statement Analyst

Can you create an AI Agent that calculates Key Financial Ratios from annual reports of Swiss companies?

Problem

Swiss companies publish their annual reports in local language, and under varying accounting standards. Key Financial Ratios are important metrics to assess a company (e.g., Credit Worthiness). Calculating those ratios from clean and labelled data is a standard task. Can you write an AI Agent that does the job from PDF documents?

Why hack? 🎯

  • •You learn about some of the fundamental concepts in the financial industry from distinguished experts in this field and have the opportunity to work on a carefully curated dataset to solve a real-world problem that, if solved reliably, can unlock high impact use-cases both in industry and academia.
  • •You may think "RAG is a solved problem..". But is this true for domain specific documents in multiple languages? Let's find out here!
