What if financial advisers could spend 70%… or even 100% of their time with clients?Book a demo - here In this episode of Financial Planner Life, we sit down with Alan Gurung, founder of AdvisoryAI, to explore how AI is reshaping the way advice firms operate.From disconnected tech stacks and time-heavy admin, to compliance bottlenecks and the growing advice gap, this conversation gets to the core of what’s really holding advisers back.Alan shares how AI agents like Colin, Evie and Atlas are already helping firms reduce admin, improve compliance oversight, and uncover insights hidden across multiple systems.But this isn’t just about technology: It’s about time.Because if advisers can spend more of it with clients, everything changes: capacity, growth, and the ability to serve more people.If you’re thinking about the future of financial advice or how to scale without burning out, this episode is for you.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introducing AdvisoryAI & the vision01:55 – From financial planner to AI builder03:17 – Why financial advice doesn’t scale06:12 – The advice gap explained09:47 – The biggest bottlenecks in advice firms12:40 – Introducing Atlas: connecting the tech stack14:18 – Real-world AI use cases for advisers18:24 – The future of AI in financial planning28:05 – Meet the AI agents: Evie, Emma & Colin43:05 – Rethinking compliance with AI48:58 – Increasing capacity & serving more clients🔔 Follow & SubscribeEnjoyed the episode?👉 Follow Financial Planner Life for weekly insights into the future of financial advice👉 Share this episode with a colleague or adviser who’s feeling the pressure of admin👉 Leave a rating or review: it helps more people discover the podcastWant to be part of the conversation or feature on the show?
