An AI recreated the Bloomberg Terminal at roughly 1/120th the cost. It would be a tragedy if Bloomberg went bust 🙌

A Bloomberg Terminal costs $24,000 a year; someone just rebuilt one on Perplexity Computer for about $200 a month

The moat wasn't the data — that's getting commoditized. It was the interface: thousands of keyboard shortcuts, proprietary screens, and the muscle memory finance pros develop over years. The real switching cost was retraining, not price

AI agents erase that barrier. If Perplexity Computer can mimic the interface and pull comparable data from public sources, only two lock-ins remain: the chat network (a social product) and real-time feeds (a licensing issue)

Bloomberg generated $12.6 billion last year from terminals. A credible open-source alternative was put together in an afternoon
