Mavericks Adds Financial Industry Sample Slides to NoLang Slide Generation

Mavericks, Inc., the Japanese company behind the AI video generation service NoLang, has added a new set of sample slides for the financial industry to the Slide Generation feature of NoLang. Users can feed in product brochure PDFs, terms and conditions, or regulatory documents as they are, and NoLang automatically produces slides that organize the key points, plus a narrated video of the same content. The samples target work that comes up constantly at banks, securities firms, insurers and shinkin banks (Japan’s cooperative regional banks): product explanations, in-house training, and regulatory summaries. They reduce the production load on head-office planning teams and training staff while speeding up regulatory response and strengthening client-first explanations.

Regulatory revisions, training and product briefings all at once: the growing document workload in finance

At banks, securities firms, insurers and shinkin banks, work that requires producing documents comes up continuously and at high frequency: responding to regulatory revisions, explaining new products, running compliance training, and briefing clients on products. At the same time, the staffing available to support that work gets tighter every year, and teams can no longer keep up with producing documents on site.

Start with how often the work occurs and how heavy it is. Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act has been amended almost every year in recent years, including the 2023 amendment (promulgated in November 2023) and the 2024 amendment (promulgated in May 2024). Each time, head-office planning departments have to rebuild product explanation materials and client-facing documents for branches¹. Investment in compliance training is also large: related spending in the banking and financial industry is said to exceed 50 billion US dollars a year worldwide, and the high cost of in-person training is a recognized problem². A 2021 survey of 400 sales and sales-planning professionals found that “producing documents” was the most time-consuming task, cited by 30.5%, accounting for 619 hours per person per year and roughly 1.67 million yen in labor cost per person³.

The staffing that would absorb this load is getting tighter every year. According to Shinkin Central Bank statistics, shinkin banks had 96,137 full-time officers and employees in total at the end of fiscal 2024, a decline for the 14th consecutive year⁴. In addition, the IPA report “DX Trends 2024” found that 62.1% of companies said they were “severely short” of people to drive digital transformation, the first time the figure has passed half since the survey began⁵. Financial institutions are no exception. With limited headcount, they must handle a wide range of document production and training operations while also building the clear explanation practices required by the Financial Services Agency’s “Principles for Customer-Oriented Business Conduct.”

To address this, NoLang has added sample slides for the financial industry to its Slide Generation feature.

Slides and video generated end to end from existing documents, now with financial industry samples

The Slide Generation feature of NoLang automatically builds slides with charts, graphs and headings from source material such as text and PDFs, and then exports the same content as a narrated video. Everything from creating the slides to turning them into video happens in a single service. Previously this meant preparing a document tool and a video production tool separately and learning to operate both; NoLang covers the whole sequence. Because product brochures, terms and conditions and regulatory documents can be used as source material as they are, financial teams can build on the documents they already have and turn them into explanation materials, training content and client-facing documents.

The new addition to this feature is a set of sample slides specialized for the financial industry. Selecting a sample slide as a template gives users a design and structure that already fits the intended use, so they can start immediately. For example, to prepare a branch briefing on a product revision, a user selects the matching sample slide and uploads the product brochure PDF or the terms and conditions PDF. NoLang generates slides that organize the key points, ready to be used as briefing material for branches or as a training video for staff.

The samples cover a range of situations across banking, securities, insurance and shinkin banks, so high-quality explanation materials and training content can be produced without specialist design skills.

Four financial sample slides covering product briefings, in-house training and regulatory summaries

Here are four representative uses from the financial sample slides added in this release. All of them address document production and training needs that arise frequently at banks, securities firms, insurers and shinkin banks.

The first is a product explanation slide that turns a brochure into a client-facing summary. Aimed at individual clients, this sample generates slides that condense a thick product brochure down to the parts relevant to that client. Users simply supply the product brochure PDF or product overview document, and the summary slides for a client meeting are produced efficiently. Sales staff can spend more of their time in conversation with clients, which also strengthens client-first explanation practices.

The second is an in-house training slide. Aimed at all employees, this sample generates internal training slides across a wide range of themes, including compliance, product knowledge and customer service. It addresses a common problem: teams want to refresh training content every quarter, but training staff alone cannot keep up, which limits how often training runs and how substantial it is. Users supply training texts or regulatory document PDFs and can keep producing training slides for staff on an ongoing basis. This lightens the load on training staff while keeping content current and of good quality.

The third is a compliance training slide rolled out to every branch. Where the preceding sample is meant for creating training content for the organization as a whole, this one assumes that training slides on compliance, dealing with anti-social forces, and information security are distributed to every employee at every branch in a single unified format. Users supply regulatory document PDFs running to tens or hundreds of pages and can roll out training slides to all branches in that unified format. When compliance rules are revised, or for regular training, head office can deliver the latest content to every branch at once.

The fourth is a regulatory document summary slide tailored by audience. This sample condenses Financial Services Agency notices and industry regulations into five to ten slides for a specific audience, such as executives, managers or general staff. It addresses the problem that preparing a separate summary for each audience after every regulatory revision takes substantial effort. Users supply regulatory document PDFs or IR materials and can distribute audience-specific summary slides in a short time. Because the same regulatory information can be developed efficiently into different versions, institutions can respond quickly to revisions while tailoring the message to each layer of the organization.

What comes next

NoLang will continue to strengthen the feature to reduce the burden of document production and training operations in the financial industry and to make regulatory response and client explanations more efficient. Mavericks also plans to keep expanding the sample slide lineup by industry segment and by task, reflecting feedback from the field.
