In this episode of Money Matters, host Chris Hensley is joined by Jonathan Michael, Director of Growth at TIFIN AXIS, to unpack what AI agents really are, how they differ from chatbots, and why they\u2019re quickly becoming a practical way for advisory firms to scale. Jonathan brings a founder\u2019s perspective from both EdTech and WealthTech and focuses on one core idea: AI should take on the operational, repetitive work that slows firms down\u2014so advisors can spend more time where they add the most value. In this conversation, we discuss:   What defines an AI agent (and what doesn\u2019t)   Why AI workers are best thought of as digital co-workers   Where agents outperform traditional software and manual workflows   Why structured prompting is a best practice for reliability and oversight   How verification loops reduce AI errors and improve confidence   The role of data infrastructure in deploying AI responsibly   What the RIA of the future looks like with humans and AI working together   If you\u2019re a financial advisor or RIA leader trying to make sense of AI without the hype, this episode offers a grounded, practical look at how firms are actually using it today\u2014and where it\u2019s heading next.  \ud83d\udd17 Guest Jonathan Michael Director of Growth, TIFIN AXIS Host, AI for Wealth Author, Wealth Management Prompts ","author_name":"MONEY MATTERS with Christopher Hensley","author_url":"https:\/\/www.moneymatterspodcast.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39455885\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/196686990"}
