Got tax season blues? Well, Thomson Reuters just turned on the lights with some snazzy new AI agents built in partnership with OpenAI. They’ve rolled out CoCounsel, the digital assistant taking on the world of tax, audit, and accounting like it’s an 80s action movie. Forget the calculator, this AI can draft memos, review client files, and even check compliance—basically, it’s the ultimate tax sidekick.
But wait, there’s more! They’re working on another AI gem called Ready to Review. Imagine an agent that can draft tax returns for you—yes, you heard right! The excitement didn’t stop there; Paul Bascobert, the president of Reuters, hinted that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Expect even more agentic workflows aimed at legal, risk, and compliance to strut onto the scene soon, possibly wearing sunglasses while doing so.
So, as we brace ourselves for a tax prep revolution, the question is: can AI make tax season less of a headache, or will it just add another layer of complexity? Let’s just hope it doesn’t start giving us unsolicited investment advice.
