Overland Park-based wealth management firm Mariner has partnered with a company to scale an artificial intelligence workforce equivalent to more than 700 full-time employees.
New York-based Humanity Labs and Mariner have entered into a five-year partnership to leverage an AI Workforce of 700 FTEs inside Mariner. The partnership is the largest AI Workforce partnership in the RIA industry, with Mariner being the first wealth management firm to adopt the model at enterprise scale, according to a release.
The AI workforce will serve as an embedded team that operates within Mariner’s system, allowing the firm’s associates to “focus on the work only humans can do.”
Once the artificial workforce works across critical workflows, including client onboarding, account opening, compliance reviews, client reporting, billing, prospect onboarding, and cross-serve opportunity identification. As work is completed, it will record its actions and save them in the Mariner Organizational General Intelligence (OGI), a proprietary operational intelligence system.
“Just about every firm in our industry has grown the same way: serve more clients, hire more people,” Marty Bicknell, CEO and president of Mariner, said in the release. “That model has a ceiling, and we decided to break it. For more than 20 years, Mariner has been guided by a simple belief: put clients first and positively impact the lives of many.”
Mariner is introducing the workforce firmwide with associate sessions and will create new roles in the firm focused on directing and quality-checking the AI Workforce.
“Most organizations today are using AI to make individual employees more productive,” Andrei Pop, founder and CEO of Humanity Labs, said in the release. “Mariner is taking the next step by leveraging an AI Workforce that expands the capacity of the entire organization. That’s the difference between adding another tool and fundamentally rethinking how work gets done.”
Founded in 2025, Humanity Labs works with wealth management firms, which together oversee more than $750 billion in client assets. Mariner and its affiliates collectively advise on more than $629.7 billion in assets under advisement as of May 31, 2026.
