Meeting Intelligence for life transitions

Prepare for the person, not just the portfolio.

You have a meeting in an hour with a client going through something: a retirement, a divorce, a handoff from an advisor who just left. The file shows accounts, balances, notes from last time. It doesn't show the thing that will decide how the meeting goes.

The brief comes from AskGrAIce (said aloud, "Ask Grace"). It reads what your firm already knows and hands you two pages: what this person is likely going through, what to ask, what to be careful with, and what not to rush. Read in five minutes, the morning of.

Advisors call it a Meeting GPS. It's for the few conversations a year that decide whether a relationship continues.

The sample brief.

A real brief, produced by the system for a fictional test household: a couple, eighteen years with the firm, meeting their new advisor for the first time. Names and details are invented. The preparation is exactly what your advisors would receive.

Read it, then ask the question we put to every reviewer: would this change how you walk into the room?

"They will leave this meeting having quietly decided whether to stay. Prepare for that decision, not just the agenda."

Opens with what it was built from, and what it doesn't know.

How it works.

  1. 01

    Share what you know

    Meeting notes, CRM history, intake answers, whatever exists. Identifying and sensitive details are stripped out before anything is analyzed.

  2. 02

    It reads like a veteran

    Everything at once: the comment from two years ago, the question from last quarter, what changed in between. Then it reads all of it against how these transitions tend to unfold, which took us three years to map and takes a thirty-year advisor a career to learn.

  3. 03

    Walk in prepared

    The Brief arrives before the meeting, checked for accuracy, with a complete audit trail behind every line for supervision and compliance.

Brief and Deep Dive.

Same understanding underneath. The difference is how much time you have.

The thinking behind the guidance, not just the guidance. A separate read on each person in the room, and where the relationship can deepen.

Both documents start with what they don't know.

Each one says what it was built from, what's unconfirmed, and what to check with the client instead of assuming. Nothing is stated as fact about the client. Everything is a possibility to explore. The advisor decides.

"Enter as someone who knows this household. Not someone who is about to meet them."

From a Deep Dive · the standard every document prepares an advisor to meet

Seven things your best advisor does on their best day. Now on every advisor's ordinary Tuesday.

None of it replaces an advisor's judgment. Advisors got into this work because they're good at reading people. The brief exists so that skill has something real to work with.

See beneath the agenda

The calendar says "retirement income review." The brief says what retirement may be doing to this particular client: the lost structure, the identity shift, the question they haven't said out loud.

For firm leaders: preparing for the person, made repeatable instead of dependent on your most intuitive advisors.

One client, read against hundreds.

Every brief reads one client's history against how hundreds of others moved through similar moments. That is how the brief connects what a busy advisor would need years with the client to see.

The goal is not more meetings. It's better ones: the kind that deepen trust, reveal what a client actually needs, and make the relationship harder to replace.

Most meetings are routine. These are the ones that aren't.

Available now

Advisor change

Will the relationship transfer, or just the accounts? The first meeting answers it.

Retirement

Often about identity, not income. The plan can be right and still land wrong.

Divorce

Big decisions, no room to think, and no way to undo them.

Loss of a spouse

Grief first. Most decisions can wait. A few can't, and knowing which is the work.

Business exit

Selling the company is also letting go of it. Both deals need guiding.

In development · preview firms get each one first

Serious illness

The plan meets mortality, and priorities reorder overnight.

Caregiving

The client becomes a caregiver, and slips out of their own plan.

Wealth transfer

Money moves between generations. Trust has to move with it.

Sudden wealth

The numbers change in a day. The person takes years to catch up.

Keep everything you've already bought. We sit on top of it.

What your notetaker captures becomes part of what we read. Your notetaker records what was said; AskGrAIce reads what it means for the next conversation. Pre-meeting intelligence, not post-meeting analytics. Nothing gets ripped out.

Integrations with Zocks and Salesforce are in progress. Preview firms run today through a secure intake, and help decide which connections we build next.

89%

of what clients praise has nothing to do with investment performance. It's about how their advisor made them feel heard, supported, and understood.

What clients actually want.

Clients have already told the industry what keeps them. The brief is how a firm delivers it: every meeting, every advisor.

What the industry research says →

This is the most personal data in your firm. Here is what happens to it.

Sanitized before analysis

Names, identifiers, and sensitive details are stripped in two passes before anything is read.

Audited end to end

Every brief carries a complete record of what produced it, for supervision and compliance.

Reviewed by the advisor

There is no client-facing mode. Nothing reaches a client without an advisor deciding it should.

Never training anyone's AI on your clients

Your firm owns its client data. It never becomes part of what another firm's briefs are built on.

Frequently asked questions.

Is this another AI notetaker?

No, and you should keep the one you have. A notetaker listens to a meeting and writes down what was said. AskGrAIce works on the other side of the meeting: it reads everything your firm already knows about a client and prepares the advisor for the conversation ahead. What your notetaker captures becomes part of what we read. They record the past. We prepare you for what's next.

Couldn't we just use ChatGPT?

You could paste notes into a chatbot and get a summary of what was said. What you wouldn't get is a read on what it means for this person, in this transition: that a health scare in March, a wish for more family time in June, and a long-term care question in September are one story. In our market test, none of the fourteen advisors thought a general AI tool could have produced the briefs.

What do you need from us to produce a brief?

Whatever exists: meeting notes, CRM history, intake answers, an advisor's own write-up. There's no new data entry, and nothing for the advisor to fill out. A dedicated sanitization process strips identifying and sensitive details before any analysis begins. A brief usually comes back within a couple of hours of receiving the notes.

What if it's a new relationship and we have almost no history?

Less is needed than you'd think. Real briefs have been produced from a single pre-meeting write-up. And when there's truly no history, the situation itself carries more than most people expect: the system understands how retirements, divorces, handoffs, and the other hard transitions tend to unfold, so it prepares the advisor for the person's situation and points them to the right first questions, while the client's own story fills in. A guided discovery experience for brand-new relationships is in development, and preview firms are shaping it.

Is there a dashboard to learn or training to schedule?

No. The product is a two-page document that arrives before the meeting. If your advisors can read an email, they're trained. That's deliberate: an advisor with fifteen minutes between meetings will not open another dashboard, and a tool that needs a course doesn't get used.

Where does client data live?

With you. Your firm owns and controls its client data; we own the understanding that interprets patterns. Your clients' information never becomes part of the intelligence layer other firms benefit from.

In practice: materials come in through a secure intake, identifying and sensitive details are stripped in two passes before any analysis, and each run happens in its own working space rather than a permanent client database. We also test that sanitization adversarially, by planting identifiers and checking whether any survive, rather than assuming it holds. During the preview, we walk your team through the whole path end to end.

What if a brief is wrong about a client?

Every brief opens by saying what it was built from and what it doesn't know. It tells the advisor what to confirm directly with the client rather than assume. Nothing is stated as fact about the person: signals, questions, and cautions are possibilities to consider, with if-then guidance for how each might land. The advisor stays in charge of the conversation, always.

Will our compliance team accept it?

It was designed for their sign-off. Every brief carries a complete audit trail from inputs to conclusions, so a reviewer can see exactly why it said what it said. Output is checked for accuracy before an advisor sees it, and the documents are advisor preparation only: nothing is client-facing, and nothing is financial advice.

Who is this for?

Wealth firms and advisor teams, especially those navigating advisor transitions, acquisitions, or the ramp of newer advisors. The preview works directly with firm leaders. If you're a solo advisor, subscribe to Advising Humans and you'll be the first to hear when it opens wider.

How do we start?

Request a preview invite and tell us a little about your firm. We're deliberately working with a small group: direct access, direct feedback, and first say in what gets built. You'll hear back from Yasmin, not a sequence.

The sample is a stranger. The preview is your client.

The sample shows what the brief does for a household you've never met. The preview shows what it does for one you've served for years, which is where it stops being impressive and starts being useful.

One of our client reviewers switched firms two years ago, after his advisor retired and the replacement never took the time to understand him. Reading a prepared meeting, he said this advisor clearly had.
