Intuit and Anthropic announced a multi-year collaboration that aims to put customizable AI agents into the hands of mid-market businesses and extend Intuit’s financial services directly into Anthropic’s product ecosystem.
The companies said the partnership will let businesses "build and customize secure, accurate AI agents to support compliant workflows using Anthropic’s Claude Agent SDK on the Intuit platform, regardless of technical expertise." The offering is framed to support regulated workflows and provide more tailored automation across industry verticals.
Market reaction to the news was immediate: Intuit shares climbed more than 4% in U.S. premarket trading by 08:10 ET. The stock, however, remains down about 45% year to date, a decline the companies tied in part to a broader software-sector reset connected to generative AI disruption concerns.
Under the agreement, Intuit will surface its tax, accounting, finance and marketing capabilities inside Anthropic products - including Cowork, Claude for Enterprise and Claude.ai - via MCP integrations with TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks and Mailchimp, the companies said.
"This is a groundbreaking partnership. With Anthropic, we’re bringing the power of Intuit’s platform to unlock unrivaled benefits that are customized to the specific needs of every consumer and business," said Alex Balazs, Intuit’s chief technology officer.
The firms described the technical objective as helping businesses extract insights from financial and operational datasets and enabling consumers to access Intuit services within Anthropic’s environment. The companies emphasized that customers across sectors will be able to tailor AI agents to their own operational needs.
"Businesses in any sector will be able to build and deploy secure AI agents engineered for compliant workflows and their unique operational DNA," the companies said. "Going far beyond simple automation tools, these are specialized agents customized with industry-specific skills."
Anthropic added that the collaboration will permit customers to create AI agents aligned with their specific workflows and regulatory obligations. Paul Smith, Anthropic’s chief commercial officer, said, "The combination of Intuit’s platform with Claude will enable Intuit customers to build and use AI agents that understand their specific industry, workflows, and compliance requirements."
Intuit noted that these agents and the related user experiences will operate on the company’s security, compliance and data infrastructure, and will use customer data only with permission. In addition to customer-facing integrations, Intuit plans to deploy Claude Code internally across its engineering organization to accelerate development work and boost employee productivity.
The companies said the new experiences are expected to begin rolling out to Intuit customers and Anthropic users in spring 2026.
