Anthropic's Claude Now Connects to Schwab, BlackRock, and 10 More Financial Platforms

Anthropic has launched "Claude for Financial Advisors," an AI assistant built to integrate directly with the platforms financial advisors already use. The system connects to 12 financial service platforms including Charles Schwab, BlackRock, Addepar, Envestnet, iCapital, Orion, SS&C, Wealthbox, Wealth.com, Vanguard, and Zocks, plus productivity tools like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, DocuSign, Box, FactSet, S&P Global, and Morningstar.

The product ships with eight pre-built skills designed for common advisor workflows. Anthropic's Peter Nolan described the assistant as a "symphony conductor," coordinating across disconnected systems so advisors can focus on clients rather than platform-switching. Research from Kitces shows advisors spend only one-sixth of their time in actual client meetings, with the rest consumed by administrative tasks.

Jaime Magyera of BlackRock noted the integration aims to close the gap between the data advisors need and the client conversations they want to be having.

• Claude for Financial Advisors connects to 12+ financial platforms plus major productivity tools
• Eight pre-built skills address the most common advisor workflows out of the box
