Temenos Launches Generative AI Tool to Speed Up Banking Product Development

Temenos, a leading banking software provider, has announced the Temenos Product Manager Copilot, a new tool that uses Generative AI to help banks design, launch, test, and optimize financial products more efficiently.

The announcement was made at the Temenos Community Forum ’25 in Madrid, Spain. This tool integrates Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and is embedded within Temenos’ Retail core banking system, offering a conversational interface for product managers, IT teams, and customer service managers.

How It Works

The Copilot enables users to interact via built-in agents or platforms like Microsoft Teams to develop and test new financial products quickly. It provides direct access to business insights drawn from core banking data without requiring complex data queries, streamlining decision-making.

The integration with Azure OpenAI Service lets the Copilot extract valuable insights from a bank’s core data, documentation, and regulatory guidelines. This helps reduce bottlenecks in product development and ensures compliance is taken into account early in the process.

Flexible and Secure Integration

The solution is built to easily connect with new AI agents specific to various bank data sources, as well as integrate with existing AI tools already in use. Azure OpenAI Service supports enterprise-level availability, scalability, and strong data security, ensuring customer information remains confidential.

Temenos plans to make the Product Manager Copilot generally available in the fourth quarter of 2025. It will be included in the advanced and enterprise tiers of Temenos retail accounts.

Why This Matters for Product Development

  • Accelerates product design and launch cycles by simplifying access to banking data.
  • Supports quick testing and iteration through conversational AI interfaces.
  • Helps teams stay aligned with regulatory requirements during product development.
  • Improves collaboration across product management, IT, and customer service roles.

Barb Morgan, Temenos’ Chief Product and Technology Officer, highlighted the importance of speed in product innovation: “With fintechs and neobanks launching products in weeks, banks must accelerate innovation or risk losing relevance.”

Context and Industry Impact

Temenos’ core banking solutions serve over 950 banks worldwide, from large multinational players to regional institutions. Their offerings come with a wide range of pre-configured products and out-of-the-box features, helping banks reduce time to market.

For product development professionals in banking, tools like Temenos Product Manager Copilot represent a practical step toward faster, data-driven product innovation. Leveraging AI to reduce manual data work and streamline testing can free up teams to focus on designing better customer experiences.
