Private AI for wealth management firms: examiner-ready by design.
Client plans, meeting notes, and correspondence drafted by your own AI, logged in your building, never sent to a public AI provider.
For professional-firm In-Building installations of 10 to 75 professionals. The written 90-day time-recovery target and participation requirements govern the guarantee. Examiner-ready refers to documented data flows and logs, not regulatory approval.

Why private AI
Private AI, not public AI. Six reasons.
Your data stays yours
Nothing your team types, uploads, or asks ever reaches a public AI provider. It lives on your machine, in the United States.
Trained on your business
USA-sourced open-weight models, trained on your documents, your process, and your voice, so the answers are yours, not generic.
Nobody else's model, nobody else's prompts
Your AI runs for your company alone. No shared model, no one else's data in it, no one else's questions on it.
No per-seat meter
One private AI for the whole team. Add people, not subscriptions.
Terms that cannot change on you
No policy update from a provider can change where your data lives or what it can be used for.
Built and managed for you
We set it up, train it on your business, host it, secure it, and keep it current. You use it.
How it works
From first conversation to everyday use.

Managed for you
Updates, security, support, and new use cases. Quoted in your assessment.
How we handle wrong answers
What happens when your AI is wrong.
It will be, sometimes. Here is how it is built so that being wrong is cheap to catch and never reaches a client.
Every answer shows its source
The passage comes from your document. Your retrieval system pulls it from the actual file. Your model does not write the source passage.
It says 'I don't know'
When your documents do not contain the answer, your AI says so instead of guessing.
A person approves anything that leaves
Nothing goes to a client without approval from your named reviewer.
You get your own number
The first ninety days record how often drafts are accepted without correction, workflow by workflow. You decide where to rely on your AI.
Your people can talk to it. Only administrators can change it. Every question, answer, and change is logged.
Your AI can only see what you can already open. Permissions come from your systems, not from the AI.
It learns how your firm writes. It looks up what your firm knows, one question at a time, only from documents the person asking is allowed to open.
The 90-day Absorption Method
A written target. Measured in hours returned.
For CPA, law, insurance, and wealth management firms of 10 to 75 professionals on the In-Building track. We agree to a written 90-day time-recovery target. If the target is not met and participation requirements were satisfied, we keep working at no additional charge. Cloud has no guarantee.
Baseline
Measure three workflows and agree to the time-recovery target in writing.
Adopt
Train champions, redesign the approved workflows, and address friction each week.
Review
Use the dashboard to compare hours returned with the baseline. Your professionals review the work.
Participation requirements and the target are written into the engagement. The professional-firm program explains the framework.
Records your firm can review and produce.
SEC Regulation S-P addresses safeguarding customer information. The 2024 amendments add incident-response requirements for covered institutions. Your firm remains responsible for its program and the decisions it makes under it.
Under the Advisers Act, Rule 204-2 requires covered advisers to maintain specified business records. Query and access logs are retained on your firm’s own settings and can be produced for an examiner. Your firm and its advisers set retention to meet applicable recordkeeping obligations.
For broker-dealer affiliates, FINRA Regulatory Notice 24-09 addresses generative AI use. Existing regulatory obligations continue to apply when member firms use AI.

This is for
- RIAs and wealth-management firms of 10 to 75 professionals considering the In-Building firm program.
- Partners ready to back a better workflow with real leadership.

- Not for leaders unwilling to assign champions
Your questions, answered.
Can advisers use ChatGPT with client information?
Only for a defined workflow and data class your firm has approved. Review the exact service, account, data flows, access, retention, and terms with your advisers before entering client information. A personal account or product label is not approval to use client records.
What will an SEC examiner see?
Your firm can produce query and access logs retained under its own settings, together with documented data flows, permissions, and support and update paths for the deployment. Your firm and its advisers determine which records must be retained and produced. Documentation does not guarantee a particular examination outcome.
Does this change our Reg S-P program?
Your AI system becomes part of the environment your program needs to address. PrivateStride provides documentation of its data flows and technical controls. The 2024 amendments include incident-response requirements for covered institutions. Your firm remains responsible for its policies, incident-response decisions, and applicable notification obligations.
Does it connect to our CRM or planning software?
Connections to your CRM and planning software are scoped in the assessment. We review approved data exports, access, integration data flows, and permissions before implementation. The written report defines the work and quote.
Who reviews outputs?
Your advisers and designated reviewers remain responsible for the work. Outputs are drafts to check against the source material and your firm’s approved process. Private AI is not an investment-advice or trading system.
How long until we are running?
Start with a 30-minute fit call. The In-Building assessment takes two weeks, remotely, and produces a written report. The report scopes the installation schedule. The full 90-day Absorption Method follows installation. No sandbox, trial, or demo is provided. No AI system is delivered until implementation is paid.
