At Era, we’re reshaping the financial landscape to make expert advice attainable for everyone, irrespective of their existing knowledge or funds in their bank account. We want to empower anyone to manage their money like experts, without needing to be one themselves,” Norcliffe said.

Using AI For Financial Advisory

Era is making financial advisory services available to all. It offers expert advice and education to all investors. It combines the knowledge of human advisors with advanced AI technology to deliver customized financial advice.

The company also uses AI to handle different processes, like automating financial tasks such as estimating taxes and transferring money between accounts. The platform makes managing daily finances easy, allowing users to plan their financial future.

Era also leverages market news and macroeconomic data to make better recommendations. It makes it easy for users to understand details like company earnings, government policies, and job reports to make it easier for them to handle their money and portfolios.

Era offers a wide range of financial advice. This information can include minor financial management advice, such as paying off credit card debt, and expert advice, such as rebalancing investment portfolios.

Era gives investors access to tools that help them better understand their finances. It also allows investors to take direct action on existing accounts using chat-based prompts, which are more convenient than banking interfaces that are often complex and time-intensive.
