COMPANION FOR FIRST

Agentic AI for investment management – start a dialog, analyse data, create thinking space.

Expert discussion

We think AI further

As a technology partner with a commitment to innovation, Fact systematically invests in the research and application of artificial intelligence. Our goal: practical solutions that not only sound visionary, but also bring real progress in everyday life. The Companion for First is the result of precisely this ambition – as part of a product strategy that intelligently integrates AI and consistently thinks ahead:

The Companion for First is the Agentic AI solution for a new era of digital investment management – an intelligent, dialog-capable companion that comprehensively supports specialist users in managing investments in First Cloud in a well-founded, compliant and future-proof manner.

As simple as a conversation

As a dialog-capable assistant, Companion understands orders in natural language, relieves the burden of repetitive tasks as well as strategic assessments and becomes an integral support for specialist processes, controlling and risk management.

 

Create new thinking spaces

Companion marks the beginning of a new understanding of work: professional expertise remains at the center – supported by an AI that takes on specific tasks in a structured manner and on behalf of the client. This produces context-related, quality-assured results that accelerate decision-making processes, minimize risks and open up space for strategic thinking.

 

Versatile in use. Clear benefits.

The Companion supports the entire digital process, with:

 

targeted analyses

comprehensibly prepared visualizations,

automated reports,

up-to-date specialist information from financial news sources,

contextual references and

system-supported explanations of complex First Cloud functions.

Agentic AI – A new standard for digital autonomy.

Agentic AI stands for a new quality of artificial intelligence: systems that not only react, but also act independently – in a targeted, contextualized and reliable manner. It is precisely this principle that makes the Companion for First the ideal solution for data-driven day-to-day investment management. Where many individual steps are still necessary today, the Companion takes over entire analysis chains, for example: it understands the order, independently identifies the relevant data in First Cloud, filters, calculates and combines the necessary information – and provides the result in the appropriate form.

Independent control instead of a manual process chain

To do this, it independently orchestrates the necessary tools, intelligently selects their sequence and uses them efficiently step by step. The companion is therefore not a tool that needs to be operated, but an intelligent actor that implements tasks in a structured manner and provides a sound basis for decision-making. This is Agentic AI – and the next step in digital investment management.

Our modular development approach

For innovation to work, it needs structure. The Companion is therefore created in a modular development process with a clear focus: technical, practical and future-oriented. The Agentic AI solution grows with the requirements of investment management, can react to new regulatory frameworks and continuously open up new areas of application. In this way, it not only remains connectable, but also becomes a central component of future-proof work processes in the investment context.

Concrete use cases as the basis for the roadmap

Practical applications form the core of the development – they are geared towards the day-to-day work of specialist users and focus specifically on where Agentic AI creates tangible added value.

The current use case: analyses & visualizations

With the Companion for First, access to data-driven analyses from First Cloud is as easy as a conversation.

  • From the order in natural language, the Companion creates exactly the analysis that is needed – quickly, precisely and clearly structured.
  • The Companion independently recognizes what is important: it filters relevant data from your First Cloud data pool, combines it intelligently and decides how and in what order to use tools.
  • The result: your customized basis for decision-making – as a list, text or graphic.

We will make this first functionality available as planned on 01.01.2026 – a milestone for digital investment management.

The perspective: continuously growing benefits

What begins with analyses develops step by step into comprehensive support in everyday working life:

  • In future, Companion will also be able to connect and incorporate external sources of information, such as BaFin publications
  • AI agents automatically carry out defined, regularly recurring analyses, create reports, generate texts and send notifications.
  • In addition, an integrated knowledge assistant is planned that explains system functions, provides support during use and customizing and thus reduces training costs.
