Goldman Sachs is working with Anthropic to develop AI agents that automate tasks like trade accounting and client onboarding, according to a CNBC report.
The project, underway for six months, uses Anthropic’s Claude model and involves embedded engineers co-developing tools to speed up complex workflows.
The agents, expected to launch soon, are part of a broader generative AI strategy announced by CEO David Solomon, who said the bank would limit headcount growth during the shift.
Goldman started with Devin, an AI coding assistant, but quickly expanded to other areas. Claude proved effective in compliance and accounting functions that involve parsing documents and applying rules, surprising executives with its versatility.
Future agents may assist in pitch book creation or employee surveillance, Goldman CIO Marco Argenti told CNBC. While no job cuts are expected yet, he said AI could eventually replace some third-party services.
