In this episode, Dave and Dharm sit down with Cristina Pieretti, Head of Digital Content and Innovation at Moody’s, to explore how one of the world’s most data-driven organisations is reimagining itself through Generative AI.
Cristina reveals how Moody’s moved rapidly from early experiments to launching its first commercial GenAI product, the Moody’s Research Assistant, which became the company’s fastest-adopted tool in history. She shares how GenAI now powers everything from developer co-pilots to agentic sales and strategy tools, reshaping how thousands of employees work and think.
The conversation dives deep into:
How Moody’s is embedding GenAI across teams while managing risk, trust, and data integrity.
The cultural shift needed to make AI adoption part of everyone’s job — not just the developers’.
Why agentic systems represent the next big leap for productivity and innovation.
How banks and financial institutions are following suit, with parallels drawn to the early days of cloud adoption.
Cristina’s candid thoughts on the so-called “AI bubble” and why she believes specialisation and high-quality data will separate lasting innovation from hype.
This is a masterclass in how established financial institutions can turn disruption into opportunity, with human creativity and trusted data at the core.

EP 140: DEMYSTIFYING MCP SERVERS WITH DAVID JARVIS CEO OF GRIFFIN BANK
In this episode, the hosts welcome back David Jarvis, co-founder and CEO of Griffin, for his second appearance on the show. The discussion centres on the emerging concept of agentic banking and Griffin’s development of the MCP server. David explains how the MCP server enables AI models to interact with banking APIs using a configuration file, significantly enhancing automation and functionality.
The conversation explores how this technology could transform areas such as corporate treasury, wealth management, and broader financial services. David outlines how AI agents might one day handle complex tasks traditionally managed by intermediaries like mortgage brokers and treasurers, streamlining operations and reducing costs. While still in the early stages, this innovation is already gaining interest from banks and fintech firms.
The episode also looks ahead to the future of AI in banking, examining both the potential and the practical challenges of integrating agentic systems into existing infrastructure.
