# Finance AI Careers > How AI is changing finance jobs: the tools, the roles, what the banks and buyout firms built, and how to get hired. Guides to what AI changes about getting hired in finance, for students, junior analysts and career-switchers, and for engineers moving into AI roles at banks and funds, in any market. The guides run by tool (Copilot in Excel, AlphaSense, Bloomberg, ChatGPT and Claude), by AI job title, by what each bank built for its own staff, and by how buyout firms use AI across a deal. Each claim is tied to whoever made it: a bank about its own system, a vendor about its product, or a named outlet. Staff and user counts in this subject move monthly and are never quoted as standing figures. - [Home](https://financeaicareers.com) - [All guides](https://financeaicareers.com/guides) - [All tools](https://financeaicareers.com/tools) ## AI Tools in Finance The AI software a junior in finance actually touches, what each tool does, and what you are expected to know about it before your first day. - [AI Tools in Finance](https://financeaicareers.com/ai-tools-in-finance) - [AlphaSense for Finance Analysts: What It Does and What It Changes](https://financeaicareers.com/alphasense): AlphaSense reads filings, earnings calls, bank research and expert interviews so an analyst does not have to read them all.
