Let’s face it: today’s clients expect Amazon-level service, even from their financial advisor.

They want answers fast, clear next steps, and simple, digital experiences — whether it’s 2 p.m. or 10 p.m.

The challenge? You’re running a lean team, and no one signed up to answer “Where’s my form?” emails after hours.

That’s where always-on, AI-powered client support comes in.

🕐 The Problem with Traditional Support

Even the best-run firms hit service bottlenecks:

  • Clients wait days for basic answers

  • Advisors get bogged down with admin requests

  • Support teams juggle emails, voicemails, and tasks in multiple systems

  • No visibility into who’s waiting on what

And when clients don’t feel seen or supported, trust erodes.

🤖 AI Support = Faster Responses + Happier Clients

With Able’s AI-powered Client Support Assistant, your firm delivers world-class service — without overwhelming your team.

Here’s how it works:

24/7 assistance for common client questions
Smart routing for service requests (e.g., address changes, paperwork status)
Instant responses that are personalized and compliant
Escalation workflows that loop in the right advisor when needed
Real-time tracking and logging for every interaction

💬 Example: From Chaos to Calm

👤 Client (Sunday 9:23pm): “Did you get my transfer paperwork?”
🤖 Able Assistant: “Yes — your paperwork was received Friday at 3:12pm. We’ve submitted it to the custodian, and you’ll receive a confirmation once processed. Anything else I can help with?”

The client gets peace of mind instantly.
Your team doesn’t wake up to an inbox fire.
