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.
