Anthropic is expanding Claude’s agentic office capabilities, allowing the model to switch autonomously between Excel and PowerPoint — for example, running an analysis in a spreadsheet and directly turning the results into a presentation. At the same time, Anthropic is extending Cowork for Enterprise customers with private plugin marketplaces, enabling administrators to curate and distribute custom plugin collections to specific teams. These plugins turn Claude into specialized AI agents for different departments, with new templates covering HR, design, engineering, finance, and wealth management.
The company is placing a strong emphasis on financial workflows. New MCP integrations for FactSet and MSCI provide Claude with real-time market data and index analytics, while partners such as S&P Global (Capital IQ Pro) and LSEG have contributed their own plugins.
Additional integrations connect Claude with third-party software including Google Workspace, DocuSign, Salesforce, Slack, FactSet, and others. Administrators also gain more granular control over user access, along with OpenTelemetry support for monitoring costs and usage.
The Excel-to-PowerPoint feature is available as a research preview across all paid plans. Cowork is Anthropic’s desktop tool for agent-based office work, which gained department-specific plugins in January. However, the tool is known to have unresolved security issues.
