The templates being: pitch builder, meeting preparer, earnings reviewer, model builder, market researcher, valuation reviewer, general ledger reconciler, month-end closer, statement auditor, KYC (Know Your Customer) screener.

Seems pretty scattershot. Reminds me of GPT Store.

This probably killed a thousand startups in this space.

in the early internet you wouldn't see google creating their own news site or facebook building their own animal farm. what happened to platformication of everything?

It seems the initial product footprint tries to sidestep this problem by not giving the agents control on who to lend to or which applications to approve. Even so I think it's quite an optimistic read on their end. Happy to share reports to anyone who's interested (montana@latentevals.com), especially if you work at a frontier model lab and are interested in plugging my evals into your RL systems!

I've really only seen it used for research / exploration thus far. Either for economic research slide deck or for exploring trading hypothesis

Better Call Saul when (not if) it does.

It feels like juggling pipe bombs and I have a ton of empathy for the teams being pressured by the business to roll them out with no appreciation for the regulatory rat's nest that ensues.

More industry exposure to well-managed agentic experiences will create oodles of opportunities to reduce premiums for consumers and offput some inflation-driven increases in cost of coverage.

however the result (excel/spreadsheet) looks different each time you run it. Which is annoying when you run it at the end of each month.

btw: this is not surprising when you look at the low details the skills have.

Damn, they keep brainwashing people into thinking LLMs are intelligent, meanwhile they be translating into somewhat coherent words and fool the world.

When they're right, they polish their intelligence badge. When they're wrong, we prompted incorrectly.

What I predict instead is that we will have a common UI layer plugin and a "protocol" than can speak to ui elements -- this might be more composable.

"ready-to-run agent templates for the most time-consuming work in financial services: building pitchbooks, screening KYC files, and closing the books at month-end"

Ok, maybe you can squeeze a vaguely passable pitchbook out of Claude.

But screening KYC files or closing books at month-end ?

"I'll have some of what they're smoking" as the cool kids say.

No regulator or tax office on this planet is going to accept the "but Claude said it was ok" excuse.

The only people who are going to profit out of this are Anthropic, Lawyers and Governments (through increased fines).

As someone who has been interviewing lately, I think this is the next step after leetcode and whiteboard style interviews.

by then A.I would've proved its impact or 0 impact on the economy & numbers will be the only thing to show not potential.

Why didn’t I think of that.

Is the plan to have an LLM do everything? And do it worse?

"Oh yeah my Claude didn't agree with the pitch from their Claude"

The goal of current tech is to make humanity a gerbil running on a Claude wheel
