Alkami Technology, a digital sales and service platform provider for financial institutions, has unveiled its Alkami Code Studio. The new offering is an AI-powered development capability—currently in beta—that will empower banks and credit unions to deliver more personalized and scalable digital experiences.
“Financial institutions are looking for partners who are not only talking about AI, but actively embedding it into their platforms in meaningful ways,” Alkami Chief Technology Officer Deep Varma said. “Alkami Code Studio reflects our commitment to investing in innovation that is both forward-looking and grounded in the needs of our customers—helping them move faster while maintaining the governance, security, and control they require.”
Alkami Code Studio is an AI-powered assistant that supports the creation, validation, and deployment of SDK components on the Alkami platform. Designed for developers, Alkami Code Studio provides standards-aligned, design-compliant components within a secure, governed environment. The solution is powered by closed-loop large language models (LLMs) operating inside Alkami’s secure infrastructure to ensure that customer code remains safely within Alkami’s ecosystem.
Embedded within the Alkami Software Development Kit (SDK) Wizard, Alkami Code Studio sits alongside Alkami’s One-Click SDK Manager, which enables users to self-manage deployments across both staging and production environments. Alkami Code Studio has been developed in collaboration with Alkami’s financial institution clients, including Patelco Credit Union, which played a major role in early testing of the technology.
“Delivering the best digital experiences that are efficient, secure, and tailored to our members’ needs is at the heart of what Patelco does,” Patelco Credit Union Director of Application Engineering Deepan Chandrasekaran said. “The early insight Alkami’s Code Studio gives us into how AI can support development workflows without compromising control brings immense and innovative benefits to our members.”
Alkami Technology’s Alkami Code Studio announcement arrives at the same time that the company previewed the launch of Alkami Engage, its digital adoption and analytics platform built to help banks and credit unions accelerate digital banking adoption. Alkami Engage offers in-app guidance and behavioral analytics to enable financial institutions learn about how their retail and business customers prefer to engage with digital banking across online and mobile experiences. The technology is integrated directly into the Alkami Digital Banking Platform, capturing near real-time user interactions such as page views, clicks, feature usage, and journey progression.
“Financial institutions invest heavily in digital transformation but often lack visibility into user behavior,” Alkami Chief Product Officer Benjamin Conant said. “Alkami Engage delivers real-time behavioral insights and in-app guidance to reduce friction, improve onboarding and self-service, and enable personalized digital experiences that drive growth and efficiency.”
A long-time Finovate alum, Alkami Technology made its Finovate debut as iThryv in 2009. Today, the Plano, Texas-based fintech is a digital sales and service platform provider for banks and credit unions throughout the US, helping them onboard, engage, and grow relationships with their customers and members. Alkami Technology is a pioneer in Anticipatory Banking, which combines onboarding and account opening, digital banking, and personalized marketing to deliver proactive, data-driven experiences that predict account holder needs and surface next best actions. Alex Shootman is Alkami Technology’s CEO.
