Financial services play a crucial role in everyday life, requiring expert-level support to meet highly personalized user needs across domains like banking, insurance, and taxation. The emergence of foundation models, especially large language models (LLMs), has introduced new capabilities in communication, reasoning, and personalization that align well with financial decision-making processes. Recently, agentic AI has extended these models by enabling them to autonomously plan, reason, and act across multi-step tasks, making them highly suitable for complex use cases such as financial advising and compliance.
Co-located with AAAI’26, this workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the latest advances in agentic AI for a wide range of financial services, fostering discussions and new ideas on design, deployment, ethics, and real-world impact.
