The AI Consortium for Community Banks
A working group of community bank executives figuring out AI adoption together.
What it is§
It comes with the platform: deploy two or more SmarterFI applications and your institution holds a full seat, with voting privileges. It is not a separate product, it is not something you buy before you have used anything, and it is not the way in.
Why it exists
Banks told us the hard part is not the technology. It is knowing how to start: where the data lives, which problem to pick first, and how to tell whether it worked.
The sessions are where that conversation happens, with people facing the same decisions at the same size of institution. Nobody in the room is further ahead than they are willing to admit, and that turns out to be the useful part.
What happens in a session§
This is a working consortium, not a webinar or a vendor presentation.
- Working sessions with peers
- Executives at institutions of comparable size, in person and virtual.
- An aggregate view of where banks like yours actually are
- What your peers are trying, what is working, and what has stalled — unattributed, and never institution by institution.
- Education on where this is going
- The technology, and the regulatory and governance picture around it.
- Early access, and a say
- You see what we are building before it ships, and you help decide what we build next.
What it is not§
- Not a webinar, and not a vendor presentation
- Not a membership you buy before you have used anything
- Not a commitment of equity, shared governance, or your institution’s data
- Your bank keeps all three.
The sessions come with the platform.
Start with a briefing and we will show you both.
