Anthropic is broadening Claude’s reach beyond coding, launching job-specific AI tools aimed at automating tasks across human resources, investment banking, finance and research functions.
The company announced on Tuesday that it has introduced a suite of plugins designed to turn Claude into specialised AI agents embedded directly within enterprise workflows. The move marks a significant step in Anthropic’s effort to position Claude as an operational tool inside businesses rather than a standalone chatbot.
“Plugins turn Claude into specialised agents for every role and department,” Anthropic said in a blog post announcing the release. Companies will be able to create private marketplaces to distribute these plugins internally, controlling which teams can access which tools.
From coding assistant to enterprise agent
Anthropic gained traction in 2025 with Claude Code, which reshaped how developers used generative AI for software creation. The latest expansion pushes the platform deeper into white-collar functions.
Pre-built plugins are tailored to specific roles. In HR, Claude can draft offer letters, design onboarding plans, generate performance reviews and run compensation analyses. In investment banking, it can review transaction documents, prepare comparable company analyses and assist in building pitch materials.
Equity research teams can use the system to parse earnings transcripts, update financial models and draft research notes. Private equity professionals can automate due diligence workflows, extracting financial data from large document sets and modelling potential investment scenarios.
Finance and wealth management teams can deploy Claude to analyse portfolios, detect allocation drift and tax exposure, and generate rebalancing recommendations. Additional tools have been designed for engineering, operations and brand teams.
Crucially, Claude now operates within enterprise software systems rather than outside them. Anthropic said the platform integrates with Google Workspace applications such as Drive, Gmail and Calendar, as well as Slack, DocuSign, FactSet and WordPress. The aim is to allow AI to move across tools instead of requiring employees to manually transfer outputs.
Managers can configure plugins through a new “Customize” dashboard, adjusting connectors, permissions and skills in one place.
Remote control for developers
Alongside the enterprise plugins, Anthropic introduced a new feature called Remote Control within Claude Code. The capability allows developers to begin a coding session locally via a terminal and later access it from another device, including a web browser or smartphone.
According to the company, the code remains on the user’s machine, with the remote interface acting as a secure window into that environment rather than shifting workloads to the cloud. The feature is currently available in research preview for Pro and Max subscribers.
Enterprise race intensifies
Anthropic’s expansion comes amid intensifying competition in enterprise AI. Rivals including OpenAI, Microsoft and Google have been racing to embed generative AI more deeply into corporate systems, shifting the battleground from model capability to operational integration.
By offering department-specific agents and internal plugin marketplaces, Anthropic is signalling that AI deployment is moving from experimentation to infrastructure.
As companies weigh productivity gains against governance and control risks, tools such as Claude’s new plugins may accelerate adoption across critical business functions. Whether enterprises are ready to entrust core workflows — from hiring to dealmaking — to AI agents at scale remains the open question.
