Smarsh, the global leader in communications data and intelligence, today announced the launch of Smarsh AI Assistant for Professional Archive.
Built in partnership with the largest global financial institutions, the AI Assistant democratizes high-performance compliance AI to level the playing field for small and mid-sized firms. The groundbreaking Generative AI assistant contains the power to eliminate hours of manual review with the flexibility, ease-of-use, and pricing fit for even the smallest financial firms and government agencies.
Smarsh AI Assistant builds on over a decade of strategic AI innovation and investments, including ongoing partnerships with AI leaders OpenAI and AWS. This is Smarsh’s second innovation in the Agentic AI space, having first launched the Intelligent Agent for the Enterprise Platform in September 2025. Acting as a compliance assistant that helps dramatically reduce the burden of manual communications review, Smarsh AI Assistant offers enterprise-grade compliance AI to help firms of all sizes stay competitive and navigate regulations like never before.
“With Smarsh AI Assistant, we’re unleashing the full power of AI for any Professional Archive customer—no matter their size or budget,” said Sheldon Cummings, President, Corporate Business at Smarsh. “By equipping our customers with a leading-edge compliance assistant that streamlines and automates communications review, we’re enabling them to work smarter, reduce risk, and protect both their organization and their bottom line like never before.”
Smarsh AI Assistant acts as an always-on compliance review partner, intelligently flagging potential risks while reducing false positives and unnecessary manual reviews.
