## Summary

Curative built a hierarchy of agents on Claude that signs provider contracts about 50 times faster than its team did in 2025, Anthropic says. The system's lead agent, Gwen, runs on Claude Opus and handles one provider deal from outreach to signature, while Sonnet and Haiku agents review rates and screen messages. Curative signed 23,000 provider contracts with Gwen, up from 2,100 contracts in all of 2025.
