FAQ

  • What is an AI strategist for financial advisors?

    An AI strategist helps advisors identify the highest-value workflows to automate, including prospecting, lead qualification, email follow-up, meeting prep, portfolio research, client communication, and onboarding. They build custom agentic workflows and GPT-powered tools that reduce manual work and increase AUM growth.

  • How can AI help financial advisors grow their practice?

    AI can automate lead research, prioritize high-value prospects, generate meeting prep summaries, draft follow-ups, build personalized planning insights, track client behavior changes, and streamline CRM updates. Advisors save 10–40 hours per month, freeing time for higher-value relationship work.

  • Is AI compliant for financial advisors?

    Yes — as long as AI is used for research, drafting, internal workflows, and non-solicitation tasks. AI cannot promise results or give unapproved recommendations. Cheatcoders builds all workflows with strict FINRA/SEC guidance and firm-specific compliance frameworks (Edward Jones, Merrill, LPL, RIAs).

  • What are agentic workflows for advisors?

    Agentic workflows are AI systems that act like assistants: researching prospects, preparing call briefs, analyzing client notes, summarizing meetings, pulling data from public sources, and generating tailored outreach — automatically and continuously.

  • What is a custom GPT for financial advisors?

    A custom GPT is a private AI assistant trained on an advisor’s process, tone, compliance rules, client profiles, and firm-approved language. It helps with call scripts, email drafting, research, onboarding, task lists, and pipeline management.

  • How can AI help with prospecting and lead generation for advisors?

    AI can:

    Identify “money in motion” events

    Score leads by urgency + likelihood to convert

    Write personalized emails

    Draft subtle catalyst-based outreach

    Create cold-calling scripts

    Build research summaries before calls

    Run follow-up sequences
    Advisors using AI see dramatically higher contact rates.

  • Can AI help with financial advisor cold calling?

    Yes. AI can provide tailored call scripts based on a lead’s job, age, RSU history, business ownership, or life events. It can also handle pre-call research, generate objections and rebuttals, and draft call summaries for CRM compliance.

  • How can AI improve efficiency inside an advisory practice?

    AI eliminates repetitive tasks such as:

    Email drafting

    Meeting notes

    CRM logging

    Scheduling

    Pipeline management

    Data entry and form preparation

    Compliance-safe content creation
    Advisors typically reclaim 5–10 hours per week.

  • Who is Cheatcoders for?

    Cheatcoders is designed for independent financial advisors, RIA founders, Edward Jones FAs, Merrill advisors, LPL teams, solo advisors, and small multi-advisor practices looking to scale through automation and AI-driven efficiency.

  • How do advisor automations work?

    Cheatcoders builds no-code automations using GPT tools, Zapier, Google Workspace, CRMs, scheduling tools, and custom pipelines. Workflows run in the background, handling research, reminders, follow-ups, and content generation without requiring daily manual effort.

  • Does AI replace financial advisors?

    No — AI enhances, not replaces. Clients still want trusted human guidance. AI handles the backend work while advisors focus on planning, relationships, and decision-making. Firms using AI gain a competitive advantage, not a replacement threat.

  • What results can advisors expect from using AI?

    Advisors typically see: shorter prep time for meetings, more consistent follow-up, more pipeline visibility, higher prospect engagement, more time spent with clients instead of admin work, and stronger visibility online through AI content tools.
