Anthropic follows OpenAI in rolling out agentic tools for enterprise
Just a day after OpenAI rolled out its agentic platform for enterprise, Anthropic has announced its own. Built from existing pieces of Anthropic tech that have already been previewed, the new platform essentially ties together plug-ins that can be tailored by enterprise customers into Claude Cowork.
Companies can customize their version of the tool to use their branding, communication style, and private data to speed up a long list of common tasks like performing financial analyses, human resources tasks, design, and engineering workflows. New connectors tie Claude Cowork into third-party platforms like Salesforce’s Slack, Google’s apps, LegalZoom, and DocuSign, among others.
The announcement gave a lift to some beaten-down software companies.
While OpenAI was releasing consumer apps like Sora, Anthropic was busy improving Claude’s ability to make spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations — the boring but essential tools of the workplace.
The two competing solutions will be battling it out in the enterprise marketplace as both Anthropic and OpenAI seek to grow revenue streams to power their ambitious AI infrastructure projects.
