Drafting M&A pitchbooks and comps models

AI finance agents help investment banking teams generate M&A pitch decks, build comparable-company models in Excel, and prepare outreach drafts far faster than a traditional analyst workflow.

Why the human is still essential here

Bankers and analysts still need to frame the deal thesis, verify assumptions and numbers, review the comps, and decide what is accurate and appropriate to send to clients.

How people use this

Pitch deck first drafts

AI compiles company research, precedent transactions, and management notes into a banker-ready first draft of an M&A pitchbook with outline slides and supporting commentary.

I Tested All 10 Anthropic Finance Agents on 20 Tasks — The Pitch Builder Embarrassed FactSet by 8.1%

Anthropic shipped 10 ready-to-run finance agent templates on May 5, 2026. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon stood next to Dario Amodei to announce them at an invite-only briefing in New York. By the closing bell, FactSet was down 8.1%, Morningstar was down more than 3%, and S&P Global and Moody’s both took sharp hits. The market priced the news as a structural threat to the data-and-analyst layer that has run Wall Street for 30 years.

I spent the next 36 hours testing every one of those 10 agents on 20 real tasks — two tasks per agent, no toy demos. The pitch builder produced a 24-slide M&A deck with a working comps model in Excel and an Outlook draft in 11 minutes. A $200/hour analyst was billing five hours for the same deliverable yesterday. That is the moment the FactSet trade made sense to me, and that is the story I am writing today.
