With the new agreement, financial professionals affiliated with Kestra have built-in access to the Zocks AI assistant platform, specifically for the use of automating client meeting preparation, notes, and updates to CRM and planning systems, all while providing enterprise-grade security and compliance. With the Zocks system handling much of the administrative work associated with client notes, financial professionals supported by Kestra will have more time to spend with clients.
“Kestra’s financial professionals can now use AI in a practical, compliant way that fits seamlessly into their day-to-day work, and where they see immediate time savings and value,” said Mark Gilbert, CEO of Zocks. “Together, we’re setting a new standard for advisor AI and how wealth management can maximize efficiency and deepen client relationships, all while maintaining high compliance standards.”
Prior to selecting Zocks, Kestra completed a months-long pilot of several AI note-taking capabilities with about 25 representatives from across its community of advisors. Each week, pilot members shared feedback, discussed experiences, and surfaced challenges.
“This tool cut meeting prep and note-taking time substantially, giving our advisors back their most valuable resource — time,” said Zach Tingle, a Kestra financial professional with Roseman Wealth Advisors. “The depth and repeatable structure ensures easy hand-off between advisors as we serve our clients, making this tool absolutely invaluable for our ensemble practice.”
“AI is reshaping the way financial professionals operate – streamlining workflows, enhancing productivity, and scaling their impact,” said Vinay Kant, Chief Digital Technology Officer of Kestra Holdings. “Our partnership with Zocks reflects our commitment to equip advisors with tools that save time, elevate service, and meet the compliance standards of our industry. Zocks offers the flexibility and ease our advisors need, and we’re excited to make this capability available to them.”
