Six Grok Bot Agents Replace a $294K Wall Street Research Desk for $200/Month
minchoi · x · 2026-08-23
A builder assembled six Grok Bot AI agents into an overnight Wall Street-style research desk for about $200/month, replacing a setup costing $294,000 a year — $27K for a Bloomberg terminal, $22K for Refinitiv, $50K for sell-side research, $15K for AlphaSense, and $180K for the junior analyst reading it all until 2am. That's the same brief at 1/122 the cost, delivered before the open. Each agent runs on its own cloud computer and writes into a shared vault; the builder published every prompt.
