i am the api
depends a lot per bank and even per group as to what model(s) you get and if they're any good. banks in general are pretty variable with how much they've embraced ai.
know some friends who are pretty limited to "in-house" tools and Copilot, so they use ai less since their tools are less useful. however, another friend gets claude and a full array of tools in excel, some level of integration with formatting, etc. and it can basically do his job.
most probably somewhere in the middle where ai's not running the model, but stuff like CIMs and earnings reports are getting tossed into gpt / gemini level tools for quick bullets for slides, memos, and notes
So is claude for excel/ppt not found at most banks? Probably helpful to understand which banks are embracing AI more vs others
