What is Agent IQ and what does it do?

Agent IQ provides relationship-centric technology that helps financial institutions use AI safely and responsibly to build stronger relationships, operate more efficiently, and drive growth.

Agent IQ connects two increasingly important parts of banking: trusted institutional knowledge and meaningful digital engagement.

Its solutions are organized into two primary product families. Smart is the intelligence layer, helping financial institutions govern their knowledge and make it accessible to employees and AI. Lynq® is the relationship layer, bringing that intelligence into account holder interactions through AI self-service and human engagement.

Together, they help financial institutions move from answering questions to building stronger, more valuable relationships.

What problem does Agent IQ solve?

Financial institutions have more information, more digital interactions, and more opportunities to use AI than ever before. The challenge is connecting them.

Policies, procedures, product information, forms, and other institutional knowledge can live across many systems and teams. Employees need to know which information is current and approved. AI needs a trusted source for reliable answers.

At the same time, more account holder interactions are happening digitally. Self-service can resolve routine needs efficiently, but some conversations require judgment, guidance, or a person.

Agent IQ connects the intelligence behind the answer with the relationship that can continue from it.

How does Agent IQ work?

Agent IQ has two primary product families: Smart and Lynq.

Smart: the intelligence layer

Smart turns approved institutional knowledge into reliable, accessible intelligence for employees and AI experiences.

Smart Control provides governance through review and approval processes, permissions, versioning, ownership, and auditability.

Smart Drive serves as the knowledge foundation for approved policies, procedures, product information, forms, guides, and other institutional resources.

Smart Assist™ gives employees fast answers from that approved content, with citations back to the source.

Together, these products help financial institutions make knowledge easier to manage, trust, and use.

Lynq: the relationship layer

Lynq brings AI and human engagement into the digital account holder experience.

Lynq AI provides guided and generative AI self-service using approved institutional knowledge, with escalation to an employee when human help is needed.

Lynq supports live chat, persistent messaging, video chat, co-browsing, and proactive outreach.

Persistent messaging allows conversations to continue beyond a single session, helping employees maintain context and build on previous interactions over time.

What does the Agent IQ experience look like?

Consider an account holder who has a question while using a financial institution’s digital experience.

If the need is routine, Lynq AI can provide an immediate answer using approved institutional information.

If the conversation requires a person, it can move to an employee with the context intact instead of forcing the account holder to start over.

That employee can use Smart Assist to quickly find additional information, such as a policy, product requirement, procedure, or next step.

And the conversation does not have to end once the immediate need is resolved. Persistent messaging and proactive outreach give the institution a way to follow up, recognize future needs, and continue the relationship.

AI creates efficiency. The greater opportunity is what a financial institution does with that capacity.

How does Agent IQ help financial institutions use AI responsibly?

AI in financial services depends heavily on the information behind it.

Agent IQ grounds AI experiences in institutional content that the financial institution can review, approve, manage, and update. Smart Control provides governance around that knowledge, while Smart Drive provides the foundation used by Smart Assist and Lynq AI.

Smart Assist also provides citations back to source material so employees can verify the information behind an answer.

The goal is not simply to give financial institutions access to generative AI. It is to help them put AI to work with appropriate control and human oversight.

How can Agent IQ help drive growth?

Efficiency is one benefit of AI and digital self-service, but it is not the end goal.

When routine questions can be answered quickly, employees have more capacity for conversations where their experience and judgment matter. When digital conversations remain persistent, institutions have more opportunities to follow up instead of treating each interaction as an isolated service event.

That can support growth across the account holder lifecycle:

  • Acquisition: Help prospective account holders get answers and guidance
  • Adoption: Help new account holders understand products and complete next steps
  • Expansion: Recognize needs and create timely engagement opportunities
  • Retention: Maintain stronger digital relationships and make help easier to access

The goal is to turn everyday digital interactions into opportunities to strengthen the relationship.

Who is Agent IQ for?

Agent IQ works with banks and credit unions that want to improve how they use institutional knowledge, AI, and digital engagement.

Operations and service teams can improve access to answers and increase self-service. Digital teams can create more connected account holder experiences. Technology and AI leaders can establish stronger governance around institutional knowledge. Relationship and growth teams can use digital engagement to deepen relationships.

The common objective is to use technology to make banking more efficient without making relationships less personal.

Is Agent IQ an AI company?

AI is an important part of Agent IQ, but it is not the entire story.

Agent IQ combines trusted institutional knowledge, responsible AI, and human engagement. AI helps answer routine questions and make knowledge more accessible. Human employees remain important when an account holder needs judgment, guidance, or a deeper relationship.

We believe technology should strengthen human relationships, not replace them.

Turning trusted knowledge into stronger relationships

Financial institutions should not have to choose between greater efficiency and stronger relationships.

Trusted knowledge creates the foundation. AI makes that knowledge more accessible. Human engagement carries the relationship forward.

That is how Agent IQ helps financial institutions turn everyday interactions into stronger relationships and growth.
