60 senior bankers, project financing, London

1. A live Copilot demonstration on their own work

We ran Copilot live on the division's actual material: the assessment of a wind farm. Not a demo dataset. Their deal type, their document formats, their questions.

2. Reverse prompting

A two-hour exercise in which the bankers used AI to solve a problem that mattered to them, rather than watching someone else use it.

3. What it means for them

An open conversation on where AI could be useful in their work, from credit analysis to documentation.

Why this format works for financial institutions

Senior bankers do not need convincing that AI matters. They need to see it perform on work they can judge. Running the demonstration on a live deal type means every reaction in the room is informed, and the conversation that follows is about their business, not about technology.
