Solution

Banca Investis built the NIWA app with Bain as a generative AI-based investment advisory platform that serves both customers and bankers. The application ingests more than 500 daily pieces of information and research, including customers' financial assets, characteristics, and preferences, then uses that context to generate tailored insights and market updates. It also includes a chatbot that answers questions in real time about investment portfolios and financial news, while highlighting key customer interactions so bankers can prepare follow-up engagement. In effect, the system plays the role of a digital junior banker: upstream market and customer data are processed inside NIWA, the chatbot serves personalized responses to customers, and bankers receive signals about where to deepen the relationship. The source does not identify a storage platform, but it clearly describes a production app launched in seven months with live personalization and banker-assist capabilities.

Data flow

The NIWA app ingests daily research plus each customer's assets, characteristics, and preferences, processes that data into tailored insights and market news, then serves those outputs through a chatbot and banker-facing interaction highlights that support follow-up conversations.
