KX & NVIDIA launch AI Banker Agent to boost global trading
KX has announced the general availability of its first production-grade agentic AI blueprint for global markets trading, built in collaboration with NVIDIA and named the AI Banker Agent.
The AI Banker Agent is designed to assist financial institutions in responding to increased market volatility driven by trade tensions, inflation, and other global economic factors. By applying agentic AI technologies across capital markets, banks can accelerate their responses to events such as regime shifts, liquidity issues, and complex risk scenarios.
KX and NVIDIA have developed a system that combines NVIDIA's suite of AI technologies—including NeMo, Nemotron, and NIM microservices—with KX's high-performance time series and vector database. This integration is intended to deliver workflow automation, real-time intelligence, and autonomous decision-making for financial institutions.
The collaboration has also resulted in the launch of an AI Lab, where financial institutions can experiment with AI-driven workflows in a regulatory-compliant environment. This facility aims to help firms prototype and deploy new solutions that fit within the regulatory frameworks governing the financial sector.
Platform capabilities
The KX AI Banker Agent Blueprint packages domain-specific workflows, compliance-ready safeguards, and pre-tuned model logic, allowing organisations to adapt the system to their specific data, policies, and trading strategies. The software supports real-time, event-driven architectures and allows for the processing of large data volumes, which is essential for the rapid, reliable decision-making needed in live trading environments.
Ashok Reddy, Chief Executive Officer at KX, highlighted the significance of this release, stating in full:
"This is a critical moment for AI within capital markets, and the time is now to integrate a truly transformational AI strategy to navigate regime shifts, liquidity events and complex risk environments. We've entered the age of applied AI in capital markets—this is no longer theoretical. With the AI Banker Agent, we've made the AI Factory real. It's engineered for the speed, complexity, and regulatory rigor of global markets, giving banks a foundation to modernize faster and serve clients better."
According to KX, the AI Banker Agent can enhance banks' market coverage, accelerate research capacity, and enable more personalised client service. This in turn can create new revenue opportunities, expand fee-based offerings, and support business growth.
Industry perspective
Malcolm deMayo, Global Vice President of Financial Services Industry at NVIDIA, commented on the broader impact of the solution, stating:
"To thrive in today's competitive and volatile markets, Corporate Bankers, Private Bankers, and Wealth Managers are looking to provide clients with personalized advice in real time. The AI Banker Agent, powered by NVIDIA NIM microservices, NVIDIA NeMo, AI Q and KX KDB.AI, harvests valuable insights from rich tabular and unstructured datasets and serves as an 'easy button' giving relationship managers a competitive edge."
The system is being positioned as an assistant for research, a tool for relationship management, and a support for personalised advisor services. Through these functions, banks can scale their market research, improve client engagement, and expand advisory capabilities.
Partner involvement
Capgemini is among the technology partners helping financial institutions operationalise the AI Banker Agent. The company has already worked with KX and NVIDIA and sees opportunity for significant impact in the sector.
Pierre-Olivier Bouée, Head of Financial Services for Europe, Capgemini, said:
"Capital market leaders worldwide recognize the value of extracting insights at speed and see the potential to transform their trading operations. Capgemini's expertise in AI and decades of experience in financial services allows us to work as a true partner to financial institutions implementing the AI Banker Agent to drive real impact in their business."
Experimentation and adoption
The AI Lab created by KX and NVIDIA offers enterprises the means to experiment with AI-driven workflows. Financial institutions can use this space to accelerate prototyping and proof-of-concept projects in a setting designed to comply with regulatory requirements. According to KX, this lab will facilitate innovation, solution testing, and optimisation for financial organisations looking to enhance their AI capabilities.
By harnessing real-time data and autonomous workflows, KX and its partners aim to support banks and other financial entities in adapting to the rapid changes characterising today's global trading environment.
