Mia

Mia is the AI assistant built into Abbove's wealth planning platform. It summarises deeds, reports and financial statements, extracts their data into the client's wealth model, and answers questions on complex estate documents without them leaving the vault.

Overview

What is Mia?

Mia is the artificial intelligence assistant embedded in Abbove, a collaborative wealth planning platform published in Brussels by Abbove SA. It is not a standalone product: Mia lives inside the digital vault where an adviser's client documents are already stored, and it is sold as part of the platform subscription rather than on its own. That placement is the whole point. Because the assistant sits where the files sit, the adviser never switches tools, never copies text into an outside chatbot, and never exposes a client deed to a third-party service.

The assistant does three things. It summarises long documents, turning deeds, reports and financial statements into short read-outs of what actually matters for advice. It extracts data from those same documents, pulling figures out of purchase deeds, company files and financial statements and feeding them into the client's structured wealth model. And it answers questions, so an adviser can ask what a donation deed implies, or what a report means for a succession, instead of reading it end to end. Abbove frames the benefit around four claims: efficiency on repetitive analysis, depth on patterns that would otherwise be missed, personalisation at scale, and an explicitly human-first stance in which the tool augments the adviser rather than replacing them.

The audience is narrow and clearly stated: private banks, family offices, accountancy firms and financial advisers. Around them, the host platform consolidates a family's whole picture, including family structure, an inventory of assets, liabilities and income, a record of gifts, the document vault itself, cash-flow simulations, succession modelling and client reporting. Abbove claims more than 1,200 advisers, 40,000 families and 200,000 engaged family members.

Two limits are written into the contract rather than the brochure. Abbove guarantees that data handled by the assistant stays inside the European Union, is never used for advertising and is never used to train its models. It equally disclaims any warranty on the answers themselves: they are generated automatically, may contain errors, and constitute no legal, financial, tax or investment advice. Access is by invitation only, and pricing is quoted, never published.

What it does

  • Summarise a deed, a report or a financial statement into its essential points
  • Extract figures from a document and enrich the client's structured wealth model
  • Answer questions asked directly against a complex wealth document
  • Surface the implications of a gift deed or a succession scenario
  • Work on documents already stored in the platform's digital vault, with no upload elsewhere
  • Keep every step of the processing inside the publisher's own infrastructure
Audience

When to use Mia / When not to

A quick filter to help you decide if Mia is the right fit.

When to use Mia

  • Wealth advisers who read a steady flow of deeds, reports and financial statements before every client meeting
  • Private banks and family offices already running Abbove, since Mia is included in the existing subscription
  • Accountancy firms extending their practice into wealth advisory work
  • Teams handling succession and gift planning, where the implication of a single deed has to be surfaced quickly
  • Institutions whose compliance function requires written guarantees that client data stays inside the EU

When not to use Mia

  • Individuals looking for a general-purpose AI assistant, as this is a B2B tool sold by quote
  • Anyone wanting to sign up and try the product alone, since the platform is invitation-only
  • Buyers who need to compare published prices before engaging, as no rate card exists
  • Organisations that require public API documentation, none of which is available
  • Advisers expecting the assistant to produce usable legal, tax or investment advice, which the terms explicitly rule out

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The assistant sits where the documents already are, removing the copy-paste step into an external AI
  • Written contractual guarantees specific to the AI assistant, which few vendors put in their terms
  • An explicit commitment that customer data is never used to train the models
  • Personal data hosted only in the EEA, with AI processing kept inside the European Union
  • Included in the existing subscription at no extra charge
  • Published retention periods with actual figures, and a data processing addendum annexed to the terms
  • Publisher holds an ISO 27001 certification, with an ISMS, two-factor authentication, encryption and penetration testing

Cons

  • No published pricing at all, and the sitemap confirms no rate page exists in any of the three locales
  • No free plan and no trial announced either way, and the platform is invitation-only so it cannot be tested alone
  • The AI usage limit is mentioned but never quantified
  • An API is claimed on the integrations page yet no public documentation could be found for it
  • Subprocessors are described only by category, with the actual list supplied on request
  • No documented way for a user to actively exclude their data from training, only a stated default
  • The site contradicts itself on contact details, displaying one address while the underlying link still points to the pre-rebranding one
Pricing

Pricing & Plans

No price is published. The absence is not an oversight: the site's sitemap covers 257 pages across its English, French and Dutch versions and contains no pricing page at all, and the general terms state that both recurring and one-off services are billed at the amount set in the quote. Amounts are expressed in euros, excluding VAT. Subscriptions run for one year and renew automatically unless notice is given three months before expiry, with payment due in full before activation and an annual price indexation tied to the Agoria Digital index. Mia itself carries no separate charge: it is included in the existing plan, subject to an AI usage limit that the publisher does not quantify. No free plan or trial is announced.

Prices and plans listed above may evolve. Always check the official pricing page before subscribing.
Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how Mia handles your data.

GDPR overview

GDPR compliance is claimed in concrete terms, not in passing. The publisher is Belgian and therefore directly subject to the GDPR and the Belgian law of 30 July 2018; the homepage states the platform is fully compliant. The privacy policy, dated May 2026, sets out the full set of rights (information, access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent) in a detailed table, and names legal@abbove.com as the privacy contact alongside a postal address. Transfers outside the EEA are framed by an adequacy decision or the 2021/914 standard contractual clauses, with an undertaking to end any transfer that cannot be protected equivalently. The competent authority is named: the Belgian Data Protection Authority. Security measures cited include two-factor authentication, encryption in transit and at rest, an information security management system and regular penetration testing.

Who owns the data?

The subscribing institution stays in charge. For personal data handled through the platform, the subscriber is the controller and Abbove acts only as a processor, bound by the data processing addendum annexed to the general terms. Abbove is a controller solely for its own records, such as the details of client and supplier representatives, applicants and website visitors. Where a rights request reaches Abbove while it is acting as processor, it forwards it to the controller without delay. The terms grant Abbove a licence over user content only as far as operating the service requires, plus anonymised or aggregated data. Internal access is compartmented: support staff cannot see financial data, and technical access happens at the customer's express request and is logged.

Reuse rights

End users do not gain any reuse right over the platform's content: the licence runs the other way, from the subscriber to Abbove, and only to the extent that delivering the service requires it, alongside anonymised or aggregated data. What the subscriber may do with its own client data is governed by the data processing addendum, not by any open reuse permission. For the assistant specifically, the terms are unusually explicit: data processed through it remains inside the European Union, is not used for advertising, is not shared with third parties outside the addendum, and is never used to improve or retrain the models. Mia reads the documents it is given, interprets them and returns summaries or suggestions, and that is the extent of the processing.

Data retention & training

Retention summary
Retention is published with actual figures. Personal data belonging to platform users and data subjects is kept for the duration of the applicable licence agreement and deleted within 90 days of its termination. Accounting and tax records are held for seven years under Belgian accounting law, recruitment data for a maximum of two years from the hiring decision, and prospect and marketing data for a maximum of three years from the last contact. The publisher sets these periods against declared criteria: expiry of the licence, the end of a customer or supplier relationship, security needs, any live or potential dispute, and legal retention obligations. Subprocessors undertake to return or destroy the data they handle once their services end, and technical access logs are kept as long as security audits require.

Hosting summary

Hosting is European and stated in two places. The privacy policy says users' personal data is hosted exclusively on servers located in the European Economic Area, and the general terms go further for the assistant specifically, guaranteeing that data processed through it remains within the European Union. The product page repeats the point, framing it as keeping all data in the EU under GDPR. No individual hosting country is named anywhere, only the region. The security page identifies AWS as the cloud provider handling and encrypting backups, so that infrastructure and any certification attached to it belong to the host rather than to the publisher. One caveat sits in the privacy policy: some recipients of personal data may be companies established outside the EEA, for example in the United States, with such transfers framed by an adequacy decision or the 2021/914 standard contractual clauses. The website's own IP address resolves to an anycast CDN node and says nothing about where data actually lives.

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Mia.

  • The publisher's own terms state that answers may contain errors and constitute no legal, financial, tax or investment advice, so an adviser who forwards them unchecked is exposed
  • Responsibility for any reliance on generated answers rests entirely with the subscriber, including for what its internal and external users do with them
  • The terms require the subscriber to stop users entering sensitive or confidential information beyond what the platform strictly needs
  • The AI usage limit is never quantified, so consumption cannot be planned before signing
  • The product page insists all data stays in the EU while the privacy policy admits some recipients are established outside the EEA, including in the United States
  • Committing without a published price means a one-year term that renews automatically, needs three months' notice and is indexed annually
  • Handing document reading to an assistant can quietly erode the close reading that wealth advice depends on, which the publisher's own human-first framing implicitly concedes
Setup

Setup & Integrations

Technical difficulty

There is nothing to install. Mia is already present in the platform's digital vault, so for an existing customer the effort is effectively zero. The real friction is commercial rather than technical: a demonstration, a quote, payment in full, then activation within five working days, with access granted by invitation only. Connecting data is a separate project of its own, covering custodian banks, PSD2 aggregation, the platform API, a file integration framework or simple spreadsheet import and export, and the publisher says the right approach is defined case by case.

Fundraising

27 April 2021: a EUR 1.4 million round announced by the publisher, then trading as GuiSquare with its platform named PaxFamilia. The round was led by Arnoud de Pret's family alongside BNP Paribas Fortis, a shareholder since 2018, with the founders remaining the main shareholders and Valentine de Pret becoming chair of the board. At the time the company reported the platform in market since 2018, 17,000 families using it, 21 staff and break-even reached in 2020.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Mia cost extra on top of the Abbove subscription?
No. Abbove states that Mia is included in your existing plan at no additional cost, though AI usage is subject to a limit. Within that limit all of the assistant's features are available. The publisher does not say what the limit is.
Is my data used to train the AI models?
No. Abbove states it never uses customer data to train Mia. The assistant processes the documents you provide, interprets their content and generates insights or suggestions, and the data serves only to answer your queries rather than to improve or retrain the models.
Does my data leave Abbove's infrastructure?
No. The publisher states that Mia processes everything strictly within its own secure infrastructure and that no information is sent outside that protected environment. The general terms add a contractual guarantee that data handled by the assistant remains inside the European Union.
Where is the data hosted?
Users' personal data is hosted exclusively on servers located in the European Economic Area, according to the privacy policy. The general terms further guarantee that data processed through the AI assistant stays within the European Union. No individual hosting country is named.
Can I rely on Mia's answers?
Not without checking them. The general terms state that responses are generated automatically, may contain errors or approximations, and constitute no legal, financial, tax or investment advice and no formal recommendation. Responsibility for any use of those answers rests with the subscriber.
How long is data kept?
Platform users' personal data is kept for the duration of the licence agreement and deleted within 90 days of its termination. Accounting and tax records are held for seven years, recruitment data for up to two years, and prospect and marketing data for up to three years.
Is a data processing agreement available?
Yes. Annex 1 of the general terms is a data processing addendum forming an integral part of the agreement, so it is published rather than merely available on request. The terms specify that processing through the AI assistant falls under that addendum.
Is there an API?
An Abbove API is claimed on the integrations page, presented as a way to make your information systems communicate automatically with the platform. However, no public documentation for it could be found, and it is the platform's API rather than one specific to Mia.
Which languages does the platform support?
The platform's sign-in page offers English, French, Dutch and German, so the interface is available in those four languages. The public website itself is published in only three of them, English, French and Dutch.
How do I get access?
Through a demonstration followed by a quote. The platform's own sign-in page states that use is by invitation only, so there is no self-service sign-up. Once the invoice is paid, the terms give the publisher five working days to activate the subscription.
Conclusion

Should you pick Mia?

Mia is a vertical assistant, and reading it as a general-purpose AI would miss what it is for. Its value comes almost entirely from where it sits: inside the document vault of a wealth planning platform an institution has already deployed. An adviser who spends their week reading donation deeds, company files and financial statements gets a genuine shortcut, because the summary, the extraction and the answer all happen against documents that are already in place and structured.

What sets it apart is how much of that is contractual rather than promotional. Abbove devotes specific clauses of its general terms to the assistant: data stays in the European Union, is not used for advertising, is not shared outside the data processing addendum, and is never used to train the models. Retention periods are published with actual figures, the processing addendum is annexed to the terms rather than merely offered on request, and the publisher holds an ISO 27001 certification of its own. That is more precise than most AI assistants put in writing.

The cost of that seriousness is opacity on the commercial side. There is no price anywhere on the site, no free plan, no trial, and no way to sign up: the platform is invitation-only and everything runs through a demo and a quote. The AI usage limit is mentioned but never quantified. An API is claimed on the integrations page yet no public documentation exists for it. And the vendor's own terms are blunt that the answers carry no warranty and no advisory value, which puts the burden of verification squarely back on the adviser.

For an Abbove customer, Mia is a sensible addition already included in the subscription. For anyone else, it is not something that can be evaluated, or bought, on its own.
