Wall Street Prompt, an artificial intelligence training firm founded by former SoftBank fund managers Felipe Sinisterra and Dave Wang, charges US$25,000 a day for sessions teaching finance professionals to use AI tools and is booked two months in advance, Bloomberg reported on 25 May 2026.

The company, founded in July 2025, has worked with T. Rowe Price Group, Citigroup and Bank of America, according to sources cited in the report. T. Rowe Price brought the pair in to train its investment professionals, while Citigroup and Bank of America used them to run sessions for their external fund clients. Wall Street Prompt, bound by non-disclosure agreements, declined to confirm its client list, and the three firms declined to comment on vendor-specific training.

#### WHAT THE SESSIONS COVER

At a session in March for employees of a New York venture capital fund, Wang showed how Google's Gemini model could be used to analyse founders' pitch videos, while Sinisterra demonstrated how OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude could scan earnings call transcripts for the most market-moving statements and translate management's remarks into spreadsheet inputs for forecasts. Classes typically run to 20 to 30 people, with seats covered by the host bank, according to Justin Tang, a buy-side analyst at Regal Funds Management who has attended several sessions.

“What is happening now is that people are seeing AI as a source of edge, a source of offense,” Sinisterra said.

#### BANKS RESHAPE WORKFORCES

The demand comes as large banks look to hire more AI specialists and shrink traditional banking roles. Standard Chartered is preparing to cut thousands of support positions over the next four years, while Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Bank of America collectively cut more than 5,000 jobs in the first quarter of 2026, according to the report. JPMorgan has rolled out LLM Suite, a generative AI tool used by most of its employees, and Goldman Sachs is working with Anthropic to develop AI agents. Bank of America says its 18,000 developers are 20% to 25% more productive after using AI.

Wang and Sinisterra are considering moving to Singapore to tap demand from banks and finance professionals there, the report said.
