# Citigroup: Wealth management AI Source: https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/citigroup/wealth-management-ai Last updated: Oct 16, 2026 *Part of the [Citigroup AI strategy profile](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/citigroup).* ## How does Citi use AI in wealth management, and what is Citi Sky? Citi Sky is an 'always-on' AI-powered member of the Citi Wealth team, unveiled at Google Cloud Next on April 22, 2026. It is built on Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform with Google DeepMind's real-time avatar technology and Gemini live audio and video models, launched in English and Spanish, and began a phased rollout to US Citigold clients in summer 2026; Fraser described it as 'in pilot' on October 13, 2026. Clients can ask for market insights from Citi Wealth's chief investment office and prompts such as certificate-of-deposit maturities; an ABA Banking Journal demonstration showed it discussing CD renewals, a college fund and mortgage refinancing. Head of wealth Andy Sieg says 'it doesn't replace our advisors', and Citi plans 400 more advisors and personal bankers. Behind Sky sit four AI tools deployed in April 2026: Portfolio Intelligence for clients, and AskWealth CIO, Client 360 and CitiScribe for advisors. Citi's investor day called AI 'a force multiplier for advisors and relationship managers', and its Arc agent platform is meant to let agents prepare a wealth banker's client meetings. Citi has not disclosed Sky's usage figures.

Citi Sky is part of the multi-year Google Cloud partnership agreed in October 2024. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said Gemini Enterprise is 'the backbone of Citi Sky', combined with frontier models from Google DeepMind. Citi says the tool sits on a secure data foundation that complies with regulatory standards.

This is the shift from interface to intelligence, from transactions to outcomes.' He added that it 'doesn't replace our advisors—it makes them more powerful'. At the May 2026 investor day Citi said it would add 400 US advisors and personal bankers.

Citi Sky is an AI-powered avatar and 'always-on' member of the Citi Wealth team, unveiled on April 22, 2026 and built with Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and Google DeepMind avatar technology. It began a phased rollout to US Citigold clients in summer 2026, in English and Spanish, and works alongside the client's human advisor. ### Is Citi Sky available to all Citi clients? No. Citi said Citi Sky would roll out in phases to Citigold clients in the United States from summer 2026, and CEO Jane Fraser described it as in pilot on October 13, 2026. Citigold is Citi's premium banking and wealth tier, which requires high account balances. ### Does Citi Sky replace financial advisors? Citi says no. Head of wealth Andy Sieg said Citi Sky 'doesn't replace our advisors—it makes them more powerful', and Citi announced plans at its May 2026 investor day to add 400 US advisors and personal bankers alongside the AI tools. ### What AI tools do Citi's wealth advisors use? Citi Wealth advisors have CitiScribe for AI note-taking (all North America advisors since Q1 2026), and from April 2026 pilots of AskWealth CIO for chief investment office insights and Client 360 for a single client view, while clients get Portfolio Intelligence. Citi's Arc agent platform is intended to let agents prepare bankers' client meetings in future. ## Deeper on Citi - [What is Citigroup's AI strategy?](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/citigroup/ai-strategy) - [What AI patents, partnerships and investments does Citigroup have?](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/citigroup/ai-research-patents-partnerships) - [What technology stack does Citi use for AI?](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/citigroup/technology-stack) --- Canonical page: https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/citigroup/wealth-management-ai Part of [BankingNewsAI](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/) — a free daily brief on AI in banking, an AI regulation tracker (42 authorities, 243 documents) and AI-strategy profiles of the 120 largest US banks.
