In this conversation, Joe Moss discusses the evolving landscape of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). He identifies two main categories of AI integration: integrated AI CRMs and AI overlays. Moss emphasizes that larger Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are more likely to adopt AI features as overlays rather than switching to entirely new CRM systems. This reflects a trend towards enhancing existing technologies with AI capabilities rather than overhauling them completely.
