Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI research company that focuses on the safety and alignment of AI systems with human values. Put simply, it is about doing multi-step work with AI, from drafting to taking actions in your tools.

The natural audience is teams automating knowledge work. They also list Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI and Machine Learning, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a large product team themselves (1,001 to 5,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

Anthropic is based in San Francisco, California and founded in 2021. More on anthropic.com.
