Claro Advisors Launches Claire by Claro™, an AI Chief of Staff Built to Help Good Advisors Become Great Ones

BOSTON — Claro Advisors, a technology-forward RIA built by advisors, for advisors, announced today the launch of Claire by Claro™ — an AI Chief of Staff now built into the Claro Intelligent Hub™ and available to every Claro advisor at no additional cost.

There’s a version of your practice where you walk into every client meeting already prepared. Where the follow-up draft is waiting before you’ve closed your laptop. Where a question that used to require jumping between eight tabs takes one click and thirty seconds.

That version exists now. It’s called Claire.

What Claire Is

Claire is not just a note-taker. She is not just a chatbot. She is a complete, connected intelligence layer built on top of everything an advisor already knows about their clients — investment policies, financial plans and goals, liquidity requirements, portfolio data, CRM history, meeting notes, tasks, emails, and calendar events, all organized by household, from a single interface. Where most tools require advisors to jump between eight or more tabs to piece together a complete picture of a client, Claire brings it all into one place. Most actions require a single click.

Financial advisors spend, on average, nearly half their week on work that isn’t client work. Claire is built to change that — not by adding another tool to manage, but by making the systems advisors already use work together intelligently on their behalf.

Advisors can ask any questions about their clients. Claire answers in seconds — accurately and completely in most cases, drawing from client data but with compliance guardrails in place.

What Advisors Are Saying

These aren’t projections. Claro advisors are using Claire now, and early results have been meaningful.

“Before we had access to this, I would spend 30-plus minutes searching for something Claire answered accurately in under a minute. I could not be more stoked.”

“My client and I met over Zoom. The Hub generated Key Topics Discussed, Decisions Made, and Prioritized Action Items — ranked High, Medium, and Lower Priority. Then it asked if I wanted to draft a follow-up email. Massive time saver.”

“A client emailed saying they were on the meeting link — except they’d cancelled weeks earlier. Instead of scrambling, I had Claire prep the meeting in minutes. We ended up having one of the more productive conversations we’ve had. That’s the difference.”

This is what it looks like when your technology actually works for you.

“Claire was built to help good financial advisors become great financial advisors. If you’re an advisor wishing you could serve more clients, hoping you could get more time back in your day, or dreaming of giving more proactive financial advice to your clients, Claire awaits you.”

— Ryan Belanger, CEO and Founder, Claro Advisors

Built on a Foundation of Compliance

In an industry where the stakes of a wrong answer are high, Claire was designed with compliance at its core — not bolted on as an afterthought. Claire manages client PII and account information with the precision the industry demands, and she is built to recognize the boundaries of her own role. When a question touches areas where AI-generated answers are unacceptable — such as trade execution or portfolio-level recommendations — Claire defers to Claro’s proprietary quantitative research algorithms rather than generating a response. Operations and compliance workflows are embedded directly into the platform, so advisors can move fast without cutting corners. For Claro, compliance isn’t a constraint on innovation. It’s the foundation of it.

What Claire Does

Chief of Staff

Every client. Every detail. Ask anything about any client and Claire is built to answer in seconds, drawing from the full depth of their records: CRM notes, financial plans, portfolio data, investment policies, and more. Most AI tools give you a summary. Claire draws from the full depth of a client’s records.

Meeting Expert

Claire joins your Zoom calls and handles the rest. Notes, decisions, and follow-up tasks are logged automatically — no manual entry, no dropped threads. Walk out of every meeting with a clean recap and a prioritized action list already waiting.

Time Manager

Every morning, Claire surfaces what matters: upcoming meetings, recent calls worth following up on, and tasks due today. One click opens a client brief or a ready-to-send follow-up. Less managing your day. More time with your clients.

All of this is built and maintained by Claro’s in-house engineering team — which means improvements ship continuously, and the system gets sharper with every update.

Your Current Firm Can’t Offer This

Most advisors spend nearly half their week on work that isn’t client work. Compliance, reporting, prep, follow-up, admin. The technology at most firms optimizes that work. It doesn’t eliminate it.

At Claro, we built something different. Claire isn’t a bolt-on feature or a third-party integration — she’s native to the platform, built on the full depth of your client data, and included for every Claro advisor at no additional cost. The same way Claro provides client service reps, back-office support, and compliance infrastructure, Claire comes with the practice.

Most AI tools give you a piece of the picture. Claire is built to give you all of it.

If you’ve been thinking about what your practice could look like with the right infrastructure behind it, this is a good time to have that conversation.

Claire is available now to all Claro advisors — included as part of the platform, at no additional cost.
