“We are confident that Citi Sky will transform the model of wealth management,” Andy Sieg, Citi’s head of wealth, said in a statement. “For decades, managing your financial life meant navigating apps, calls, and meetings. With City Sky, you just ask and act. It’s a shift from interface to intelligence, from transactions to outcomes.”
“This does not replace our advisors – it makes them more powerful, extending their reach and deepening their impact. In fact, Citi Wealth plans to add advisors in the coming years,” he said.
The tool is built on a secure data foundation that complies with regulatory standards, Citi said. The company will continue to partner with Google to expand the tool’s capabilities. “The future of financial services lies in the ability to transform vast amounts of data into interactive, actionable intelligence for investors,” Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said in a statement. “With Gemini Enterprise as the backbone of City Sky, combined with Google DeepMind’s Frontier models, City Wealth is setting a new blueprint for how agentic AI can deliver high-quality, personalized financial insights for its millions of customers.”
