AI in finance becoming a bubble?

Every week, it feels like a new AI platform is launching. You see them on LinkedIn, in newsletters, and now even from people who would never have been expected to start tech ventures. It’s starting to feel like a bubble.

So who actually wins in this wave?
When does it pop or consolidate?
Are these tools truly seedable businesses, or just features wrapped in hype?

I use most of the major LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. They’re useful for research, writing, and comparison, but the enthusiasm around “building with AI” often feels louder than the real adoption curves.

Curious if anyone in finance or professional services has seen meaningful integration yet. Will any single platform dominate workflows? Blueflame AI, for example, seemed to find a real niche before being acquired by Datasite. Are there any others quietly gaining traction beneath the noise?
