The Guyana Stock Ex­change (GSE), in part­ner­ship with Wiz­dom­CRM Guyana Inc. and sup­port­ed by the CARI­COM Pri­vate Sec­tor Or­gan­i­sa­tion (CP­SO), has launched a first-of-its-kind AI-pow­ered chat­bot to make fi­nan­cial da­ta more ac­ces­si­ble across the re­gion.

The new dig­i­tal as­sis­tant, which went live on Oc­to­ber 13 at the GBTI Bank Recre­ation­al Cen­tre, marks a ma­jor step in Guyana’s ef­forts to make the stock mar­ket more open and user-friend­ly.

GSE Gen­er­al Man­ag­er Saro­jinie Ra­jaram said the move isn’t just about tech­nol­o­gy, but about giv­ing every­day cit­i­zens a sim­ple way to un­der­stand and en­gage with the mar­ket.

“This is a his­toric step to­ward de­moc­ra­tis­ing ac­cess to fi­nan­cial in­for­ma­tion,” Ra­jaram said.

The chat­bot, avail­able on the GSE web­site, pro­vides re­al-time in­sights from com­pa­ny re­ports, mar­ket sta­tis­tics, and his­tor­i­cal da­ta, all in plain lan­guage and avail­able 24/7.

CP­SO head Dr Patrick An­toine said the part­ner­ship sup­ports CARI­COM’s goal of a more con­nect­ed re­gion­al cap­i­tal mar­ket.

“By lever­ag­ing AI, we’re shap­ing a Caribbean mar­ket that’s smarter, stronger, and more con­nect­ed,” he said.

The project al­so ties in­to Wiz­dom­CRM’s AI Tu­tor plat­form, which al­ready works with over 1,700 stu­dents na­tion­wide through the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion.

Charielle Plow­den, Coun­try Man­ag­er for Trinidad and To­ba­go, said in­te­grat­ing the chat­bot in­to the GSE web­site ex­pos­es cit­i­zens to “re­al-world stock mar­ket con­cepts and fi­nan­cial lit­er­a­cy” us­ing da­ta drawn from four years of com­pa­ny re­ports.

Po­si­tioned as a mod­el for the rest of CARI­COM, the ini­tia­tive blends tech­nol­o­gy, ed­u­ca­tion, and fi­nance, plac­ing Guyana at the fore­front of AI-dri­ven fi­nan­cial in­no­va­tion in the Caribbean.
