Collective’s Compass brings AI research, planning and live counterparty bids to the adviser of anyone holding pre-IPO equity, all inside one session. The plan is built from cash needs, concentration and tax, and even giving arrives as a vehicle before a cause. From the other side of the table: at your liquidity moment, what is this wealth for, and who charts the course?

A line a client can toggle is a feature. Ours is absolute: deciding stays with the holder. On Schwab, Robinhood, and the question above the question.

The same AI engine now runs autonomous agents for a bank and prepares the adviser for your meeting, with eight ready-made skills and connectors to your balances, positions and transactions. The limit on what it may do is set for whoever buys it. From the other side of the table: you are the content, not the user, and no one has set a dial for you. Who sets it on your side?

This week the question moved from where the AI agent stops to who answers when it gets it wrong. Deutsche Bank names an accountable executive; JPMorgan keeps compliance gates; Ant International offers a refund; Apollo's Torsten Slok warns of an "agentic bank run," where no one does. Each item graded for provenance.

AI now turns wills, trusts and entity documents into structured estate data held in the firm's system. The industry's own commentators say owning that data makes advisers "impossibly sticky". Yet the data records who receives what, not why you arranged it so. From the other side of the table: who holds the map of your estate, and who keeps the reasons behind it?

An AI licensed by every institution still faces only the one that deployed it. On Anthropic's spread across the adviser stack, and whose table it sits at.

The firm leaves every meeting with approved, archived minutes. You leave with your memory. On who keeps the record, and what a record of your own would hold.

The human boundary on finance AI came loose from the agent this week: Accenture sold its guardrail list as the product, Ritholtz bought governance from Hadrius before rolling out Claude, and Oasis Group argued per-action costs will cap autonomy. Beneath it, one engine under six products. Each item graded for provenance.
