Session Description
Ask any LLM a financial question about your business. You'll get a fluent, confident, generic answer — one that doesn't truly know your business, or what happened when businesses like yours made that same decision. We build financial AI at Intuit serving 100M+ customers. Our custom LLMs outperform general-purpose models on accuracy while cutting latency in half. But that's the foundation, not the destination. I'll cover where financial intelligence goes when AI stops reporting what happened and starts helping you decide what to do next (and does it for you).
