Appleton Partners Selects Mili as its AI Platform for Advisor Workflows
The $12.5 billion Boston-based RIA deploys Mili across its wealth management team after evaluating multiple AI solutions.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Appleton Partners, Inc., a 100% employee-owned investment advisory firm managing $12.5 billion in client assets from its Boston headquarters, has selected Mili as its AI platform for private client workflows. The firm, which has been independently operated since its 1986 founding, evaluated several AI tools before choosing Mili for the depth of its integration with Salesforce and its ability to automate workflows across meeting documentation, client follow-ups, CRM updates, and meeting preparation.
Appleton's wealth management team uses Mili to prepare for client reviews by pulling prior meeting context and CRM data into a single briefing, capture real-time notes across virtual, phone, and in-person conversations, update Salesforce with client data after each meeting, and draft follow-up correspondence in each advisor's voice.
Punit Shetty, CTO, SVP and Managing Director of Operations at Appleton Partners, said, "Before Mili, our advisors would finish a client meeting and spend the next thirty to forty minutes writing up notes, entering data into Salesforce, and drafting a recap email. Now that workflow is compressed into a few minutes of review. The time we are getting back is going directly into client conversations and planning work."
Douglas C. Chamberlain, CFA, President and CEO of Appleton Partners, said, "We manage portfolios with the same discipline we apply to selecting technology. We need tools that integrate into how we already work, protect client data, and deliver measurable returns on the time our team invests in them. Mili met that bar."
Appleton and Mili are working together on extending the platform into client onboarding, document analysis, and prospect research workflows.
Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, "The firms we work with are not buying AI because it is new. They are buying it because their advisors are spending half their day on tasks that do not require human judgment. Appleton saw that clearly. They wanted a platform that could sit across their tech stack and turn every client interaction into structured data and completed follow-through. That is what Mili does."
