Always-on intelligent support helps RPAG members access critical information instantly, accelerating advisor operations and client service

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- Retirement Plan Advisory Group (RPAG) today announced the launch of Auto Assistant, an AI-powered answer engine. Through its on-screen avatar, Otto, Auto Assistant provides instant, contextual responses to advisor questions, enabling faster decision-making and more responsive client service.

As part of substantial, ongoing investments in innovation and technology, RPAG and its parent company Great Gray Group are committed to driving better outcomes across the US retirement plan ecosystem. Auto Assistant strengthens RPAG's platform capabilities while maintaining the member-focused approach that defines RPAG's service model.

Auto Assistant delivers three core benefits to retirement plan advisors:

• Instant information access: Provides immediate, contextual answers to member questions, reducing time spent searching for information and enabling faster response to client needs
• Adaptive intelligence: Learns from member usage and feedback, becoming more effective as advisors interact with the feature and as RPAG expands its knowledge base
• Platform integration: Works alongside RPAG's existing tools and solutions, enhancing advisor workflows without disrupting established processes

“Retirement plan advisors rely on RPAG to give them a competitive advantage, through tools and insights that help them grow their business and better serve their clients,” says Isabelle Blankmeyer, Head of Product for Great Gray Group, supporting the RPAG platform. “Auto Assistant gives members immediate access to information when they need it, allowing them to operate with greater speed and confidence. Our team is deeply committed to investing in innovation like this to promote retirement plan success for all.”

Auto Assistant is available to all RPAG members as of February 4, 2026.
