Anthropic has launched an enterprise agents program built on Claude Cowork, offering pre-built department-specific plugins for finance, HR, legal, and engineering teams. The system includes private software marketplaces, controlled data flows, and customizable plugins designed to give corporate IT departments familiar deployment controls.
