Episode notes

Advisors spend nearly half their time on tasks that take them away from clients. Hazel was built to change that.

In this episode of The Advisor Journey, Dasarte sits down with Altruist’s Gokul Ramanathan and Fernando San Martín to share how Hazel, Altruist’s new AI-powered assistant, is helping advisors work smarter and focus on what matters most.

They discuss Hazel’s origins, its role in simplifying advisor workflows, and the standards that keep client data secure. From automating meeting prep to identifying follow-up opportunities, Hazel is designed to give advisors time back while improving the client experience.

Advisors will learn how this technology evolved from a startup idea into a core Altruist product—and why the future of advice should feel more efficient, personal, and human.
