Anthropics Claude pushes into the AI business customer market

The chatbot ChatGPT is facing more competition in business with large companies. The AI company Anthropic, which is supported by Amazon and Google among others, is now also offering its competitor software Claude as part of a corporate subscription. Claude can, for example, summarize documents, analyze software code and make suggestions for sales strategies and the development of future products by evaluating data.

These functions can be used immediately as standard in the company's offering, said Anthropic manager Nicholas Lin. At the same time, the aim is to enable customers to better adapt the functions to their usage scenarios over time. The enterprise version can capture documents with several hundred pages or 200,000 lines of software code in one process. In his opinion, this will not be enough in the long term, but it is a good starting point, said Lin.

Over one million business customers with OpenAI

The ChatGPT developer OpenAI has already had a subscription offer for corporate customers for around a year – and, like Anthropic, does not disclose the price per employee.

Following Anthropic's entry into the business, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT now has more than one million subscription customers in companies and universities. OpenAI last spoke of 600,000 customers in the business in April – before the launch of the educational offering –.

There are other competitors: Microsoft, for example, is building its AI assistant Copilot into its Office software based on OpenAI technology. Lin said that with Claude, Anthropic wants to establish artificial intelligence as an "intelligent colleague" that collects information across the boundaries of individual applications. He sees the role of AI as relieving users of tasks in order to unleash their creativity.
