How to Use AI to Write Financial Market Updates for Clients

Keeping clients informed about market conditions is important for retention — but writing market commentary weekly is time-consuming. AI can handle the heavy lifting.

The AI market update workflow:

  1. Gather your key data points (index performance, notable economic events, Fed news)
  2. Give ChatGPT or Claude the data with this prompt: “Write a clear, reassuring 300-word market update for conservative, non-technical investors. Focus on long-term perspective. Include: [paste your data points].”
  3. Review and add your personal perspective
  4. Send within 24 hours of market events

Tips for high-quality AI market commentary:

  • Provide specific numbers, do not ask AI to look them up
  • Specify the tone (calm, reassuring, educational)
  • Specify the audience (retirees, business owners, young investors)
  • Add one personal sentence at the start or end to humanize it

Important: Review carefully for accuracy. AI can confuse dates or misstate numbers if your input is unclear.

Result: Advisors using this workflow send more timely updates and report higher client satisfaction scores.
