Former HSBC executive Trista Sun has launched an artificial intelligence-powered wealth management platform called Equora. Her goal is to create a billion-dollar company by harnessing AI agents to help investors manage their finances proactively. Sun's platform, a2b2.ai, features 10 AI agents, each specialized in various tasks such as tracking product maturity dates, detecting fraudulent transactions, and identifying market movements that impact portfolios.

Users can input their portfolio information, and the system automatically removes sensitive details before storing the data. Sun aims to target "mass affluent" individuals in Hong Kong, the US, and Singapore, with a target of 1 million active and paying users within two to three years.
The platform offers four subscription tiers, with monthly fees ranging from $3 to $90. Sun emphasized that the platform is committed to serving users without promoting or selling anything, as most general-purpose AI tools lack deep financial expertise and often have conflicts of interest due to commission-based incentives.
