GCP's BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Dataflow are redefining banking operations. They power real-time analytics, enabling personalized services, robust risk management, and compliance adherence. High-speed data processing using GCP services fuels algorithmic trading and market insights. Cloud Dataflow and AI Platforms drive real-time analytics, enhancing trade execution and strategy development.

AI Platform, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Pub/Sub streamline claims processing, risk assessment, and customer engagement. Predictive modeling and personalized services are reshaping insurance operations. GCP services like Cloud Storage and Datastore facilitate compliant transactional data storage. Looker's BI tools aid in compliance reporting and customer relationship management.

Some key use cases which introduce a new-age business model in transforming BFSI through Gen AI-based solutions are:

• Virtual assistants: Gen AI-based virtual assistants like chatbots built in the GCP platform helps to develop solutions like virtual Insurance agents, virtual banking help, and Advisors for Investment banking. 
• Financial forecasting: Gen AI powered by GCP enables accurate stock price predictions and risk analysis, enhancing investment decisions and portfolio management.
• Fraud detection and risk management: Gen AI capabilities in fraud detection models using GCP services help identify patterns and anomalies, reinforcing risk management protocols.
• Personalized customer services: Gen AI-driven personalized services in BFSI sectors leverage GCP's AI capabilities to cater to individual customer needs, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty.

Personalized Customer Data Management Using Cloud Dataflow and Vertex AI

GCP is the leader in data cloud solutions among various hyperscalers available in the market. GCP has great data pipelines and analytics services like Google Dataflow, Google Datafusion, and Bigquery. Now, these are also enabled with Gen AI and help in multiple finance data use cases as given below :

Intelligent Data Cleansing

1. It can detect values and fill in data that are not present based on other inputs without human assistance. 
2. can be leveraged to assist in data cleaning by automatically identifying errors in datasets that may be challenging for humans to detect.

Summarisation of large data transactions meaning fully and aid for simulated test environment and application validation. Gen AI can help bridge this gap by quickly and accurately categorizing, sorting, and analyzing large datasets to generate actionable insights based on natural-language queries featuring contextual information provided by users.

Democratization of Data Insights

1. Data insights are also getting to a new era with self-service and NLP based information processing.
2. Natural language interfaces are like questions and answers to get insights — new companies are emerging and termed as prompt engineering in the Gen AI world. 
3. For example, Bloomberg created its own Gen AI solution, which features a natural-language interface for financial data analysis to easily get data insights 

Intelligent Data Pipelines

1. Gen AI can be very powerful when used for intelligent extraction with the help of Gen AI. This makes more meaningful and contextual conversion of unstructured data to structured inputs. 
2. Standardizing formats along with intelligent error identification and suggestions

BFSI Use Cases for Document Classification Using DuetAI in GWS

Financial organizations are heavy on documents -documents can come in various ways and fashions of day-to-day workflows. Some of the use cases can be loan processing, contract management, sentimental analysis, and KYC processing, to name a few. GCP has multiple powerful solutions to handle document management by leveraging Gen AI capabilities. One such solution is duetAI for Google Workspace (GWS). Google Workspace is now enabled with duetAI, which improves productivity enormously. Its Assistance AI helps collaborative AI, in which duetAI acts as co-creator. DuetAI for a workspace can help with various use cases, such as:

• Content creation and validation 
  1. Document writing
  2. Mail response and new mail
  3. Proofreading for contract
• Image generation 
• Content summarization
  1. Summarization of mails
  2. Documents /contract summarisations 
• Organise data 
  1. Organizing your sheets folders

Google DocAI to Harness Insurance Claim Processing

Google DocAI allows you to convert documents to systems, but with Gen AI, you can get the context of the document more effectively and extract or detect data specific to a context. For example, KYC/customer onboarding comes with lots of document processing, and these manual efforts can be eliminated. Insurance claim processing involves a lot of bills and reports to be extracted and processed for validation and originality. 

Google has taken a step further and added industry flavor to DocAI. For example, DocAI for lending — transforms the home loan experience for borrowers and lenders by automating mortgage document processing. DocAI for lending has specific parsers for a mortgage, e.g., loan amount and property address, parsers for forms like 1040,1099, bank statement parsers, etc.

Natural language prompts to classify, extract, and get deeper insights from documents with limited training. Google has announced Gen AI-powered extraction and summarisation for docAI in which Summarizer can be used out of the box without training to provide summaries for documents up to 250 pages long. Gen AI-powered search on documents- this can be done very easily by genApp builder. This helps you to give your Google search kind of experience on your document repository. 

Cross-document analysis and summarized answers: When searching for a particular topic, users often need answers composed from information in multiple documents or to summarize or compare answers across multiple documents. 

Data Governance for Traceability and Lineage

Combining document conversion and workflow with data governance and bringing traceability. Data catalog services/data plex can help in effectively virtualizing the data and see how data originated and transformed. This can help in audit processes. Google, with its duetAI for workspace and DocAI, which is now powered with Gen AI, becomes a terrific combination for document management.
