Zocks, the privacy-first AI assistant built specifically for financial services, has joined forces with Kestra Financial, a leading wealth management platform, to bring its cutting-edge technology to more than 1,300 financial professionals across Kestra’s nationwide network.
Through this partnership, Kestra advisors will now have access to Zocks’ AI-powered assistant—designed to streamline one of the most time-consuming aspects of client service: meeting preparation and note-taking. The platform automates key administrative tasks such as capturing client meeting notes, syncing updates to CRM and planning systems, and maintaining full compliance with enterprise-level security standards.

For advisors, that means less time spent on paperwork and more time spent on what matters most—building stronger relationships with their clients.
“Kestra’s financial professionals can now use AI in a practical, compliant way that fits seamlessly into their daily workflows,” said Mark Gilbert, CEO of Zocks. “Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for how AI can enhance efficiency in wealth management freeing advisors to focus on meaningful client conversations while ensuring full compliance.”
Before officially partnering with Zocks, Kestra conducted an extensive months-long pilot involving about 25 advisors from across its network. These professionals tested multiple AI note-taking tools, providing weekly feedback to identify what worked best in real-world client scenarios.
