100-word summary
Madrid-based Singular Bank built an internal AI assistant that cuts meeting prep from 20 minutes to under one minute and client call reports from 15 minutes to 30 seconds. Over 30 days, bankers ran 3,500 operations across 19 workflows, saving 60 to 90 minutes per day. The tool pulls from approved data sources to generate portfolio analysis and flag concentration risks while keeping humans in charge of final decisions. The time savings aren't about doing less work. Bankers are redirecting those reclaimed hours toward actual client conversations instead of formatting reports. If ChatGPT can handle the paperwork, private banking might finally become about relationships again.
