Can AI take meeting notes and draft follow-ups within record-keeping rules?
AI notetakers can save advisors hours a week. They also create records regulators and firms care about.
- Can we use AI notetakers?
- Do clients need to agree?
- Are notes records?
Yes, with conditions. Use a tool your firm has approved, tell clients and get consent to recording, review every AI summary before it goes into the CRM or to the client, and keep records as your firm requires. Several advisor-focused notetakers integrate with common CRMs. Don't let AI write advice the advisor hasn't reviewed.
Guardrails
| Area | Rule |
|---|---|
| Tool | Firm-approved, with data terms |
| Consent | Tell clients; record only with consent |
| Review | Advisor checks every summary |
| Records | Kept per firm and regulator rules |
