Compliance teams are under growing pressure to review an increasing number of communications across multiple channels, all with the same limited resources. Manual review is time-consuming and expensive, and real risks can easily slip through the cracks.

As digital communications continue to multiply, many teams try to keep up by adding more people to the process. But with flat budgets and rising workloads, that approach doesn’t scale.

It’s time for a more innovative solution.

Why it matters

For small and mid-sized financial services firms, staying compliant with communication regulations is critical but increasingly complex. As message volumes grow and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, traditional manual review methods fall short. Introducing AI to modernize workflows helps level the playing field by analyzing content quickly, flagging real risks faster, and much more. This enables lean compliance teams to work more efficiently, stay ahead of potential issues, and meet regulatory expectations without stretching limited budgets.

Smarter compliance starts with Smarsh AI Assistant

Manual review is one of the most time-consuming aspects of communications compliance. For users of Professional Archive, the hours spent reviewing emails, chats, and messages across multiple platforms can overwhelm even the most efficient teams. Smarsh AI Assistant is here to change that.

Purpose-built for financial services, AI Assistant acts as your always-on compliance partner – summarizing lengthy messages, intelligently flagging potential risks, and helping your team prioritize what really matters – all at the click of a button. Accelerating repetitive tasks frees reviewers to focus on higher-value work that drives real business outcomes.

AI Assistant uses advanced generative AI to streamline search, surface critical risks, and reduce manual workloads across your electronic communications channels. It even includes real-time translation across key languages, helping you identify risks in global communications without the usual friction.

Built on over a decade of AI and machine learning innovation, AI Assistant leverages the proven models behind our Enterprise Conduct solution. Now, firms of any size can access enterprise-grade risk detection capabilities directly within the existing workflow of Professional Archive.
