Anbima introduces Anby, its AI assistant for self-regulation queries

Pioneering initiative among self-regulatory bodies marks first step in association’s conversational strategy, with plans to expand to other topics
The Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association (Anbima) has launched Anby, a virtual assistant that helps users find and understand the association’s self-regulatory content. The AI-powered tool makes it easier to access sector rules, codes and best-practice guidance, reinforcing Anbima’s efforts to make its self-regulatory framework clearer, more transparent and more efficient for market participants.
As a private-sector association representing Brazil’s financial and capital markets, Anbima operates a self-regulatory system for firms that voluntarily adhere to its standards and are subject to its supervision.
Anby was developed in response to demand from Anbima members. In this first phase, it draws exclusively on Anbima’s self-regulatory codes and official materials, including rules and procedures, decisions, FAQs and glossaries. The codes set broader obligations, while the related rules and procedures explain how they apply in practice, helping market participants understand Anbima’s requirements within Brazil’s broader legal and regulatory framework.
The assistant provides answers in clear language and always shows the regulatory references on which they are based, ensuring transparency and traceability. For now, Anby answers questions only in Portuguese.
“Anby is the first step in our conversational strategy. It was designed to meet today’s needs for consulting self-regulatory content and is already prepared to evolve into other Anbima topics,” said Anbima CEO José Carlos Doherty. The initiative is part of a consistent innovation agenda, built through ongoing dialogue with the market, he added.
Market-driven innovation
The project originated in the Anbima Innovation Network, as part of Discovery.IA, a 2024 program focused on practical work with artificial intelligence for asset managers. The program allowed participating firms to help identify challenges, develop ideas and build prototypes that could be applied to the sector. That work led to the proposal for an AI tool to answer questions about Anbima’s self-regulation.
The initiative was developed in partnership with Instituto Eldorado and went through several stages of testing and validation with Anbima members before launch.
Clearer access to rules
Anby is limited to self-regulatory topics. It does not issue opinions, make recommendations or answer questions about rules from other regulators. The assistant is not intended to interpret Brazil’s broader financial regulation or replace legal, compliance or regulatory advice.
The tool was created for professionals who work with complex documents, helping make self-regulatory information easier to find, understand and apply consistently.
Consultations with Anby are free and open to anyone. The tool is available on Anbima’s Portuguese-language portal, through the icon in the lower right corner of the homepage.
With Anby, Anbima strengthens its responsible use of artificial intelligence in self-regulation and opens a new channel of interaction with its audiences.
