[The wave of smart agents sweeps across the securities industry, and securities companies are intensively connected to the smart agent ecosystem] September 28th, 2026 is regarded by the industry as the "first year of financial smart agents." Many securities companies have taken the initiative to connect to the intelligent ecosystem of major Internet platforms, and the AI ​​(artificial intelligence) transformation of securities companies is moving from "self-research and internal use" to "ecological openness". In just a few months, platforms such as Kimi, Tencent WorkBuddy, Alibaba Qianwen, and Huoshan Engine have successively launched financial services, and brokerages have become active adopters. At the same time, a number of listed securities firms disclosed the latest progress in AI strategies in their 2026 semi-annual reports. From wealth management to investment research, investment banking, compliance and risk control, AI is deeply embedded in the core business processes of securities firms, and an industry competition around intelligent agents has begun.
