Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.6.
This one is built for financial research.
Here's what it does:
→ Analyzes company data, regulatory filings, and market information
→ Produces detailed financial analyses that would normally take days
→ Creates spreadsheets and presentations
→ Better at software development
The moment it launched, financial services stocks tanked:
→ FactSet dropped 10%
→ S&P Global fell sharply
→ Moody's and Nasdaq both slumped
Wall Street is nervous. And they should be.
This is the same week Anthropic quietly released a legal automation tool that triggered a trillion-dollar market meltdown in software stocks.
The pattern is clear:
Anthropic is going vertical. Hard.
They're not just building general AI anymore. They're building AI that replaces specific, high-value professional work:
→ Legal research (already live)
→ Financial analysis (Opus 4.6)
→ Cybersecurity (coming)
→ Life sciences (coming)
→ Healthcare (coming)
Their head of product said it directly: "Those are areas where we're going to lean in really hard."
What this means for us:
Every industry Anthropic targets becomes an opportunity.
Financial services firms are about to need help:
→ Integrating these tools into their workflows
→ Building custom automations around Opus 4.6
→ Training teams to work alongside AI analysts
→ Replacing manual research processes
Same pattern we saw with legal. Same pattern we'll see with healthcare.
The companies that adapt fast will win. The ones that don't will get disrupted.
If you're building automation services, these verticals are heating up:
1. Legal (already in motion)
2. Financial services (as of today)
3. Healthcare (next)
Each one is full of slow-moving companies with manual processes and high labor costs.
They need what we build.
Anthropic has 300,000+ business customers already. Most are using Claude Code for programming.
But the expansion into professional services is where the real disruption happens. And the real opportunity for automation agencies.
Keep an eye on Cowork too. That's their AI agent product. Anthropic said it was built in days, with most of the code written by Claude itself.
We're watching AI build AI that replaces professional work.
If you're not paying attention, you're already behind.
