Robo-advising is a subset of financial technology that uses algorithms to automate the process of providing financial advice. Robo-advisors typically offer a range of services, including investment management, retirement planning, and tax optimization.

History of Robo-Advising
The first robo-advisors were launched in the early 2010s. Initially, they were met with skepticism from some in the financial industry, who questioned the ability of algorithms to provide personalized financial advice. However, over time, robo-advisors have gained acceptance as a legitimate form of financial advice. Today, there are numerous robo-advisors available, each with its own unique approach to providing financial advice.
