Anthropic launches 10 finance-focused AI agents via Claude Cowork and Managed Agents for KYC screening, pitchbook generation, and month-end close workflows.
We’re now a couple of years into the AI wave, and it seems like the available legal AI technology has begun splitting down two different tracks: In one direction, there are general purpose AI systems like Claude or Chat GPT; in the other direction you have purpose-built legal AI systems like Westlaw’s AI Deep Research and Lexis Protege. We’re two active litigators (Ding and Duff) who use both Claude and Westlaw regularly. Curious to see how well the various systems perform legal research, we decided to run a series of comparison tests consisting of five prompts across all three systems. We t...

Hey everyone, I recently moved to the UK and found myself constantly confused by prices, trying to guess how much things actually cost. Even though I’ve been an iOS developer for 7 years, I didn't have the free time to build a custom tool entirely from scratch, so I decided to let Claude do the heavy lifting. **What I built:** I built "Converty", an iOS app that converts currencies and includes a camera feature to scan physical price tags. The app is completely free to download and try. **How Claude helped:** Claude generated the vast majority of the codebase. I used Claude Opus for about ...
I integrated my Claude with my gmail. I asked it to find all the emails between my mother and I, and to tell me a story with all the nice things in it, as my mum passed away a few years ago. It was excellent, very sweet, went back to my email I had previous that I connected to gmail even, so almost 2 decades of emails. It prompted me to search some of the emails for the photo attachments, and I learned that one of the projects that came with her weaving loom that I inherited, was intended to be a rug, and probably intended as a gift for me, as she had sent a cryptic message about making me s...
Saw someone post a Claude Code lamp setup recently using this exact lamp, and I had to try it myself. Credit to the original open-source project: [https://github.com/bobek-balinek/claude-lamp](https://github.com/bobek-balinek/claude-lamp) It uses Claude Code hooks to trigger a Python script that sends Bluetooth commands to the lamp. Now it plays a blue spinning animation while Claude is busy working, glows pink when Claude needs input from me, and switches to warm white when idle. All of the lighting effects are adjustable in the source code. Since it uses BLE, Bluetooth Low Energy, the la...
If you've been wondering why your Max plan exhausts faster than it should, you're not crazy and it's not your imagination. I asked a Claude Opus 4.7 agent to investigate its own token usage. After 8 turns it had been billed for 127K tokens for ~25K of unique content. It noticed the discrepancy and started reading its own session logs. It surfaced GitHub issues going back to mid-December 2025,...
Reddit user criticizes Claude 4.7 performance degradation vs. 4.6, citing worse coding ability and planning failures despite Anthropic's high valuation.
Anthropic has spent years building itself up as the safe AI company. But new security research shared with The Verge suggests Claude's carefully crafted helpful personality may itself be a vulnerability. Researchers at AI red-teaming company Mindgard say they got Claude to offer up erotica, malicious code, and instructions for building explosives, and other prohibited material they hadn't even asked for. All it took was respect, flattery, and a little bit of gaslighting. Anthropic did not immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment. The researchers say they exploited "psychological...
