Two former bankers, Felipe Sinisterra and Dave Wang, run Wall Street Prompt and now charge about $25,000 per day to teach banks how to deploy AI in workflows, using Google’s Gemini to analyze pitch videos, FBI-inspired behavioral analytics to flag red flags, and OpenAI/Anthropic tools to turn earnings calls into forecast-ready data.

Congress Moves to Limit Wall Street's Grip on Single-Family Rentals
Congressional leaders in both chambers voted to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, a bipartisan move aimed at curbing Wall Street’s footprint in the housing market. While proponents say it signals who’s in charge and could slightly improve inventory in some markets, experts note the effect on affordability is likely limited since institutional owners account for a small share nationwide and much of their stock is leased or in need of repairs. The measure is part of a broader housing package to boost supply, though Senate language requiring seven-year rentals to be sold to individuals faces House opposition and concerns it could hamper new construction. Publicsupport for limits is high, but real-world effects may be modest.
