CIMB Niaga has deployed enterprise AI agents to assist its staff with financial advisory and customer service tasks.
The move marks a targeted expansion of CIMB Niaga AI banking Indonesia operations, giving employees automated support built on Google Cloud‘s Vertex AI platform in partnership with consulting firm Artefact.
The collaboration introduces two primary tools developed by the bank’s internal AI Center of Excellence.
These agents provide employees with real-time access to market data and internal policy documents to support daily operations.
The Relationship Manager AI Agent functions as an analytical tool for wealth management staff.
It processes daily market sentiment and financial trends to help advisors align product recommendations with a client’s specific financial goals.
This allows relationship managers to provide tailored advice for events like property purchases or retirement planning.
“By combining our banking capabilities with Google Cloud’s enterprise AI and Artefact’s technical consulting expertise, we are giving our teams the tools they need to better address each customer’s unique goals,”
said Billie Setiawan, Head of Data Analytics and AI at CIMB Niaga.

The bank has also introduced a Contact Center AI Agent that operates alongside service teams during live customer calls.
Connected directly to the bank’s internal knowledge management system, the tool surfaces relevant procedural details and product specifications to speed up query resolution.
The system tracks interaction trends to inform future staff training programmes.
To comply with local data residency regulations, CIMB Niaga hosts its entire knowledge management infrastructure in Google Cloud’s Jakarta region.
The AI agents draw exclusively from a secure repository of the bank’s proprietary data rather than public internet sources, ensuring staff receive accurate and contextually relevant information.
A built-in semantic search tool allows employees to query the bank’s institutional knowledge through natural dialogue.
The system interprets the intent behind user queries to extract responses from internal policy documentation in real time.
Mark Micallef, Managing Director for Southeast Asia at Google Cloud, noted that the deployment focuses on practical workplace assistance.
“CIMB Niaga is deploying proactive agentic assistance that turns vast internal knowledge into a practical advantage for its staff,”
he said.
