This venture began with an agile, joint-team approach, ensuring rigorous and continuous customer involvement throughout the development process.

The AI logic behind the Avatar combines conventional AI with Generative AI, placing a high emphasis on building trustworthy and responsible AI, along with stringent attention to data security. As Commerzbank charts this path toward a hybrid future of banking, the focus remains on delivering an unparalleled digital experience that not only meets but exceeds customer expectations.
