Citi Wealth Unveils Citi Sky, an AI Wealth Assistant Built with Google Cloud and Google DeepMind, for Phased U.S. Rollout

Citi Wealth unveiled Citi Sky at the Google Cloud Next 2026 conference in Las Vegas on April 22, 2026, describing it as an always-on, AI-powered member of the Citi Wealth team built with technology from Google Cloud and Google DeepMind. It is meant to change how clients in the U.S. access market insights, act on opportunities and engage with their financial advisors, and it is to be made available to Citigold clients in a phased U.S. rollout beginning in the summer of 2026, then integrated over time into Citi Wealth platforms in the U.S. Features at launch include timely guidance such as prompts for bank certificate of deposit maturity events and market insights from Citi Wealth's Chief Investment Office; conversational interaction using Google DeepMind's real-time avatar technology and Gemini's live audio and video models; and support for English and Spanish, with more languages planned. Citi Sky was built with Gemini models on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google's environment for building, scaling and governing enterprise agents. For the virtual persona and multimodal features, Citi worked with Google DeepMind's Applied team and Google Cloud Forward Deployed AI Engineers, using the real-time avatar technology and the Gemini Live API for low-latency audio and video conversations. Citi says interactions are being built on a secure, grounded data foundation designed to comply with regulatory standards. The project extends a multi-year strategic partnership between Citi and Google Cloud from Citi's internal operations to its wealth clients, and was developed by Citi's Wealth Intelligence, Wealth Technology and Wealth Marketing teams. "With Citi Sky, you simply ask – and act. This is the shift from interface to intelligence, from transactions to outcomes," said Andy Sieg, Head of Wealth. He added that it "doesn't replace our advisors – it makes them more powerful," and that Citi Wealth plans to add advisors in the years ahead.
