within Excel and other Office apps Claude Opus 4.7 performs better than GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro Anthropic has launched 10 prebuilt AI agents designed for banks, insurers and other financial institutions to help speed
up some of the most time-consuming tasks within the industry.

Available through a number of the company's offerings, including Claude Cowork, Claude Code and Claude Managed Agents, these purpose-built agents are designed to be deployed in "days rather than months." The Claude maker also used the announcement to remind finance workers that Claude is now available directly within Microsoft Excel and other Office apps. Article continues

Anthropic's Claude Marketplace allows customers to buy third-party cloud services Anthropic launches purpose-built finance agents Each of the 10
agents is made up of three separate elements: skills (a set of instructions), connectors and subagents, which Anthropic describes as "additional Claude models that are called upon by the main agent, for specific sub-tasks such as comparables selection or methodology checks."

However, with the finance industry being as regulated as it is, companies can also choose to tweak and refine these agents to suit their own needs.

Available through the marketplace, five are destined to work across research and client coverage, and the other five are for finance and operations. Some highlights include a pitch builder agent, a market researcher agent and a valuation reviewer agent.

Anthropic also described Claude Opus 4.7, the model that powers the new
agents and Excel connectors, as "state-of-the-art on financial tasks." It scored 64.37% on Vals AI's Finance Agent benchmark, far ahead of GPT-5.5 (59.96%) and Gemini 3.1 Pro (59.72%). Are you a pro?
