By leveraging AI models tailored to professional service sectors, and with the model's powerful capabilities in general knowledge, understanding, and communication, Maxiaocai can seamlessly integrate financial products, market information, and other services on the Ant Fortune platform, making digital professional financial services accessible to all."
