New for financial services: ready-to-run Claude agent templates for building pitches, conducting valuation reviews, closing the books at month-end, and more.

The new tools are designed to help employees at financial firms handle tasks they do every day. These include building pitch presentations, auditing financial statements, reviewing earnings reports, and drafting credit memos.
The agents can also screen documents used in customer due-diligence processes. Anthropic said the tools can plug directly into its Claude Code and Cowork products and can be customized to fit a firm’s own policies and style.
Claude now connects with Microsoft Outlook and new financial data providers. This is meant to make the AI more useful inside the tools that bank employees already use.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei appeared on stage at the New York event with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. The appearance underscored how deeply the AI startup has built relationships with major Wall Street names.
The company’s financial services clients now include Goldman Sachs, Visa, Citi, AIG, and JPMorgan Chase. Anthropic said banks have also been seeking access to its Claude Mythos model specifically to strengthen their cybersecurity.
How Anthropic Trained Its Finance AI
Nicholas Lin, who leads Anthropic’s financial services product work, said the company has invested in training methods specific to finance topics. He called this “vertical-specific intelligence.”
Lin said the training does not use any client data. He added that feedback from customers helps Anthropic improve the model over time.
“I’ve honestly seen a dramatic change, especially in the past six months,” Lin said.
Anthropic vs. OpenAI in Financial Services
The launch comes one day after Anthropic said it would partner with Blackstone and Goldman Sachs to build a new, unnamed entity aimed at expanding Claude into midsize companies.
OpenAI is forming a similar venture, according to Bloomberg News. The two companies are competing directly for contracts with major financial institutions.
OpenAI closed its latest funding round in March at a valuation of $852 billion. Anthropic was last valued at $380 billion. Both companies are planning potential IPOs as soon as this year.
Last week, Citigroup worked with Google to launch an AI avatar for financial advisors. The move shows that multiple tech providers are now competing for the same Wall Street clients.
Anthropic’s growing presence in finance has put pressure on some software stocks. Investors have worried that AI agents could replace or reduce demand for existing software tools used by financial and legal firms.
Lin said the goal is to improve outcomes for customers, not replace existing businesses.
