How to draft client emails with AI as a financial advisor
The right way to draft client emails with AI as a financial advisor is to train the AI on your past emails (so it learns your voice), give it one-sentence intent prompts, edit the draft, and have a human review every output before send. Done correctly an email takes 2 minutes instead of 20 and your CCO sleeps fine.
The workflow
- The AI has a corpus of your past client emails (voice training).
- You write a one-sentence intent: "Reassure Mary about the Q3 volatility and remind her we already rebalanced."
- The AI drafts in your voice.
- You read, edit one phrase, hit send.
- The output is logged per Rule 204-2.
What to never put in the prompt
- Client SSN, account numbers, or full PII.
- Anything you wouldn't want examined later.
- Specific recommendations — those come from you, not from the AI.
Compliance guardrails
- Every output is reviewed by a human before send.
- Every output is preserved as a record.
- The AI is configured to refuse outputs that include investment recommendations.
- Marketing-rule scan runs on every output that touches a client.
The install matters
A properly installed AI brain has these guardrails configured by default. A generic ChatGPT subscription does not.
