Sberbank and the AIRI Institute have unveiled an upgraded version of their AI financial analyst, known as AIFA. The agent is designed to handle complex financial tasks by autonomously breaking down objectives, determining necessary steps, selecting appropriate tools, and generating final results.
The initial prototype was introduced in November 2025, focusing on extracting data from IFRS PDF reports. The new iteration significantly increases autonomy, as the agent no longer relies on pre-set human scenarios but instead independently plans the sequence of actions required to achieve a specific goal.
AIFA is positioned as a versatile tool for various financial roles, including credit, investment, and industry analysis. It supports multiple reporting standards and handles tasks such as financial modeling, factor analysis, cross-document reconciliation, and risk monitoring.
Currently, the solution is undergoing internal testing at Sberbank. The bank intends to release the product to external corporate financial departments in 2027. Once available, it will assist with tasks like reporting, compliance checks, and providing recommendations for financial optimization.
