Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Accounting and Finance for the week ending July 31, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category Cover Image Prompt: Interior of a 1973 Chevelle Malibu at night seen from the driver's side, an open aluminum briefcase on the passenger seat filled with banded cash stacks and a small golden-yellow scorpion figurine resting on top, ivory satin lining catching sodium-vapor amber light through the windshield, a gloved hand loose on the gearshift, wet neon reflections on the dashboard, 1980s neo-noir movie poster composition with 35mm anamorphic grain and soft halation, deep crushed blacks and hot magenta accents, the word 'Finance' scrawled in the upper third as a hot magenta-pink handwritten brush script resembling Mistral typeface with a faint glow.
This Week in Accounting and Finance News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
The finance material this week is mostly about AI vendors packaging their tools for the industry. Anthropic announced ready-to-run Claude agent templates for building pitches, valuation reviews and month-end book closing, installable as plugins in Cowork and Claude Code or run in production as Managed Agents. A Claude for Financial Services keynote video sits alongside it.
OpenAI appears to be doing the same on its side, with shared ChatGPT plugin pages for Investment Banking and Public Equity Investing. The other item is a WSJ exclusive saying Citadel bought Situational Awareness's stock portfolio after big losses in AI.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

Had an agent audit the failure cases that caused my dev environments to fail when doing lots of work in parallel. You’ll never guess what the top cause of failures was.”

worth rereading again, now that Wenfeng reminds us that continual learning is the next frontier (the last frontier before “soft singularity”, in his accounting). Also check all posts @BetaTomorrow had linked this under, a wealth of alpha on the subject.”
