Morgan Stanley will allow AI agents to connect with its stock administration platforms, according to a new report.
CNBC detailed that agents will be able to bypass software interfaces built for humans.
"The way we see it, in a future state, our corporate clients will not be logging into ShareWorks or Equity Edge," Mark Mitchell, chief product officer of Morgan Stanley at Work, told the outlet.
Mitchell went on to say that clients will instead use "agentic AI-powered tools on their desktops within the four walls of their companies, interacting with our platforms in a purely agentic way."
The report noted that Morgan Stanley has already given some clients early access and plans to open it up to the rest by next year.
It is the latest instance of a large corporation adapting its daily operations to the AI boom. The same outlet also reported on Wednesday that Meta is selling AI agents to businesses as part of a subscription under the Meta One brand.
Concretely, Meta Business Agent can be used in different apps to respond to customer questions, recommend products and book appointments.
The company introduced Meta One last week to provide premium services for creators and companies. It comes as the company seeks to diversify its sources of income as it struggles to sell physical and digital products.
"Now, a clothing shop in Birmingham or a bakery in São Paulo can offer the same always-on, highly-personalized experience as a major brand." CEO Mark Zuckerberg said when introducing the product.
He also claimed that the company is also "building agentic capabilities" that can perform tasks such as "suggesting ways to grow your business, giving you competitive intelligence and real-time insights into what's working and what's not."
"As our models advance, your agent will take on more and eventually help you run your whole business," he added.
Meta has been conducting thousands of layoffs as it focuses on AI. It has also scrapped plans to fill 6,000 open positions.
The company ended the first quarter of 2026 with 77,900 employees, down 1% on the final quarter of 2025, following earlier rounds of redundancies. Those previous cuts were pitched as a way to streamline operations after heavy spending on the metaverse. This time, executives are far more explicit that jobs are being traded for computing power.
Zuckerberg said "we are seeing more and more examples where one or two people are building something in a week that would have previously taken dozens of people months."
