Summary
Anthropic announced ten new agent templates for financial services, available as plugins in Claude Cowork and Claude Code and as cookbooks for Claude Managed Agents. The templates cover tasks such as pitch building, KYC screening, month‑end closing, and ledger reconciliation, and they bundle skills, connectors, and sub‑agents. Claude now supports Microsoft 365 add‑ins for Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook, enabling context to flow automatically between applications. New connectors include Dun & Bradstreet, Fiscal AI, Financial Modeling Prep, Guidepoint, IBISWorld, SS&C IntraLinks, Third Bridge, Verisk, and a Moody’s MCP app. The templates are built on Claude Opus 4.7 and achieve 64.37 % on the Vals AI Finance Agent benchmark. They can run autonomously on the Claude Platform or alongside analysts’ local files. The audit log in the Claude Console records every tool call for compliance. The release aims to accelerate finance workflows by reducing manual effort and improving consistency.
