Morgan Stanley vs peers
AI and technology compared

Last updated Oct 20, 2026 · 9 peers · 108 sources cited

How does Morgan Stanley compare with its peers on AI and technology?

Morgan Stanley scores 69.7 on this site's US AI disclosure index (#34 of 120), last of the nine US firms in its investment-banking and wealth peer group, behind Bank of America (97.3), Citigroup (94.9), JPMorgan Chase (89), Wells Fargo (88.8), Raymond James (84.5), Schwab (80.7), Goldman Sachs (79.9) and UBS's US bank (75.3). The low score reflects a thin public record, not a late start: it publishes few figures (12 against a peer median of 18.5) and has the fewest dated AI moves in the last year (19 against 30). On substance it was early and has stayed distinctive. It put OpenAI's models in front of financial advisors first: a strategic partnership in March 2023 and an Assistant fully rolled out that September and used by 98% of advisor teams, years before Merrill's AI meeting journey (March 2026) and Wells Fargo's AI Teammate for advisers (July 2026). About 98% of its 80,000 employees had access to a generative-AI tool by mid-2026. And it is opening its platforms to clients' own AI agents: in June 2026 it said ShareWorks and Equity Edge would accept external agents via MCP, reaching all 3,400 stock-plan clients by 2027, while JPMorgan Chase said in October 2026 that it will not let outside agents operate inside accounts.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Where it leads

Where does Morgan Stanley lead its peers on AI?

01

First Wall Street firm with OpenAI in advisors' hands

Morgan Stanley named OpenAI its wealth unit's strategic AI partner in March 2023 and fully rolled out the AI @ Morgan Stanley Assistant that September; 98% of advisor teams adopted it, and Debrief for meeting notes followed in June 2024. Bank of America's AI meeting journey reached about 15,000 Merrill and Private Bank employees in March 2026 and Wells Fargo launched AI Teammate for advisers in July 2026.[1][2][3][4][5]

02

Opening its platforms to clients' AI agents while JPMorgan blocks them

In June 2026 Morgan Stanley said its ShareWorks and Equity Edge stock-plan platforms would accept clients' external AI agents through the Model Context Protocol, starting with a handful of clients and reaching all 3,400 administration clients by 2027. JPMorgan Chase's CEO said on October 13, 2026 that the bank will not let outside agents operate inside customer accounts.[7][8]

03

A measured agent in production on the institutional side

FIXR, an internal agentic system for end-of-day P&L reconciliation, cut a job that took up to six hours per book to two or three, about 1,500 hours a week across roughly 100 controllers (VentureBeat, June 2026). Morgan Stanley's design turns repeated manual fixes into fixed rules rather than leaving them to the model; Goldman Sachs describes agents qualitatively, with new joiners managing a 'virtual army' of them.[9][10]

04

Design partner for OpenAI's tools for bankers

OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Financial Services in September 2026, shaped with Morgan Stanley and Evercore, and a banker research tool for which Morgan Stanley was a design partner. Bank of America extended a $520 million credit line to OpenAI in July 2026 but has not been named as a product partner.[11][12][13][14]

Where it trails

Where does Morgan Stanley trail its peers on AI?

01

The thinnest record of dated moves and numbers in the group

The profile records 19 dated AI moves in the last 12 months, last of nine against a peer median of 30 and 34 at Bank of America, and 12 disclosed numbers, also last, against 27 at Bank of America. Morgan Stanley does not publish AI use-case counts, solution counts or AI spend.[6][15]

02

Fewer primary disclosures than Bank of America or Raymond James

Morgan Stanley has 9 primary disclosures on its AI on this site against 23 for Bank of America and Raymond James and a peer median of 17. Raymond James reported 6,500 unique users of its Rai operations agent shortly after its enterprise rollout (July 2026).[3][16][17]

03

Lost its first head of firmwide AI

Jeff McMillan, Morgan Stanley's first head of firmwide AI, left in early 2026 to found McMillanAI; the AI platform is now led by Madhu Coimbatore. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup each keep a long-serving named technology chief at the center of their AI programs, with 16 to 19 named AI leaders on their profiles against Morgan Stanley's 13.[18][19][20][21]

04

Client-facing assistants still in testing

Morgan Stanley's client-facing digital assistants entered testing in summer 2026. Schwab unveiled Charley, a generative-AI assistant that completes tasks for retail clients by voice or text, on September 30, 2026, and Bank of America's Erica has served nearly 50 million users.[22][23][24]

AI index

Where does Morgan Stanley rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from the US AI disclosure index of 120 banks (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

AI for financial advisors

How do Morgan Stanley's AI tools for advisors compare with Merrill's, UBS's and Wells Fargo's?

Each firm's own description of the AI it gives its advisors. Usage figures are self-reported and measured differently.

How each firm talks about AI and jobs

How does Morgan Stanley's stance on AI and its workforce compare with its peers'?

Morgan Stanley's doctrine is capacity creation: automation and generative AI to 'decouple scaling from forever adding more people'. CEO Ted Pick called AI a 'productivity phenomenon' in April 2026, and on the October 14, 2026 call said wealth management remains 'a people business' in which AI can 'do a lot of the early work' but clients still ask whether they trust their advisor. Its wealth head Jed Finn told a February 2026 conference that the firm has more than 3,500 tools and that AI will let advisors scale rather than replace them.[101][102][93]

Peers frame it more sharply. Goldman Sachs's Asia Pacific head says new joiners already manage a 'virtual army' of agents (October 2026); JPMorgan Chase reports headcount cuts of 30% to 40% in some units; Wells Fargo's headcount is down 79,000 in six years with more automation ahead (July 2026). Raymond James's May 2026 investor day called AI 'an enabler of the Advisor-Client relationship', the closest to Morgan Stanley's line.[10][103][104][105]

The peer group

Which banks are Morgan Stanley's peers, and why these?

Morgan Stanley is compared here with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, The Charles Schwab Corporation, UBS (US), Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Raymond James Financial and UBS Group AG: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Morgan Stanley is classed as a investment bank, broker or wealth manager in the Northeast.

Morgan Stanley is an investment bank and the largest advisor-led wealth manager among US banks, so it is compared with the firms it meets in deals, trading and wealth (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Bank of America's Merrill, Wells Fargo, Citi, Schwab, UBS and Raymond James) rather than with custody banks; UBS Group is listed for its global wealth franchise and is not in the US index.

Common questions

Is Morgan Stanley better than Goldman Sachs at AI?

The record cannot settle capability. Goldman scores 79.9 and Morgan Stanley 69.7 on this site's disclosure index, mostly because Goldman has far more independent coverage (39 sources against 21). Goldman gives GS AI Assistant to all 46,000 employees and 12,000 developers have coding assistants; Morgan Stanley gives about 98% of 80,000 employees generative-AI access and was first to put OpenAI's models in front of advisors (2023).[42][6][1]

Which has the better AI for financial advisors, Morgan Stanley or Merrill?

Morgan Stanley moved first: its OpenAI-powered Assistant was fully rolled out in September 2023 and adopted by 98% of advisor teams, and Debrief has taken meeting notes since June 2024. Bank of America's AI-Powered Meeting Journey for Merrill and Private Bank advisers launched in March 2026 for about 15,000 employees in the first phase, saving up to four hours per meeting by the bank's estimate.[2][3][4][94]

Why does Morgan Stanley score lower than its peers on this site's AI index?

The index scores what is on the public record. Morgan Stanley has the fewest dated AI moves in its group over the last 12 months (19 against a median of 30), the fewest disclosed numbers (12) and 9 primary disclosures against a median of 17. It does not publish use-case counts or AI spend, while Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan publish all three kinds of figure.[6][100][28][99]

Does Morgan Stanley let outside AI agents access accounts?

For stock-plan administration, it plans to. In June 2026 it said ShareWorks and Equity Edge would open to clients' external AI agents through the Model Context Protocol, with early access for a handful of clients and all 3,400 administration clients by 2027. JPMorgan Chase takes the opposite line: its CEO said in October 2026 that outside agents will not operate inside customer accounts.[7][8]

How does Morgan Stanley's OpenAI partnership compare with other banks' model deals?

It is the longest-running: the relationship began in 2022 and OpenAI was named the wealth unit's strategic partner in March 2023; in September 2026 Morgan Stanley helped shape ChatGPT for Financial Services. BNY signed a multi-year OpenAI deal in February 2025 and its CEO joined OpenAI's boards in July 2026; JPMorgan's LLM Suite swaps models from OpenAI, Anthropic and others.[1][11][106][107][29]

How does Morgan Stanley compare with UBS on AI for advisors?

Both build advisor AI on a large platform. UBS reports that about 80% of its US advisors use STAAT Insights, Copilot usage exceeds 85% and advisors save about 10,000 hours a month on meeting preparation, and its advisor agents can trade after approval. Morgan Stanley reports 98% of advisor teams on its Assistant and is building 'super agents' across more than 3,500 wealth tools, with advisors approving every recommendation.[95][2][92][93]

Is Morgan Stanley cutting jobs because of AI?

Morgan Stanley frames AI as capacity creation and, on its October 14, 2026 call, called wealth management 'a people business'. Its research arm estimated in May 2026 that European banks could cut 10% to 20% of jobs on AI. Peers report direct effects: JPMorgan Chase cut 30% to 40% of headcount in some units and Wells Fargo is down 79,000 people in six years.[102][108][103][104]
