We're an AI research company that builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Our first product is Claude, an AI assistant for tasks at any scale.

Intent

I need it when

Reduce administrative burden on faculty and staff through task automation

Claude Cowork enables scheduling recurring tasks like generating briefings, preparing meeting materials, and handling document research. Faculty can delegate tedious administrative work while maintaining focus on teaching and research. Connectors to institutional tools (Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) integrate Claude into existing workflows.

Provide institution-wide AI access with centralized administration and compliance

Education plan includes SSO, domain capture, role-based access, SCIM integration, audit logs, and HIPAA-ready compliance options. Administrators can manage seats, set spend controls, and deploy Claude across departments. Dedicated API credits and educational features support learning mode for student projects.

Accelerate computer science and coding education across the institution

Claude Code allows students to learn programming concepts, receive code reviews, and build features through natural language commands. Faculty can use Claude to explain programming concepts, debug student code, and create coding assignments. The platform supports multiple models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) for varying complexity levels.

Support research and data analysis for academic projects and institutional studies

Claude Research generates comprehensive, cited reports from internal data and web sources. Claude Code enables Python execution in sandboxed environments for data analysis. Projects feature allows organizing large amounts of context (equivalent to 100K lines of code or 15 financial reports) for research tasks.

Enable students and faculty to improve writing, research, and critical thinking skills

Claude provides writing assistance, research report generation with cited sources, and explanation of complex topics. Students can use Claude to draft essays, analyze information, and prepare for exams. Faculty can leverage Claude Code and Research features to support curriculum development and academic projects.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Institution requires on-premise deployment with no cloud access or data residency outside specific regions
  • Organization needs real-time synchronous collaboration features for simultaneous multi-user editing in a single document
  • Users require offline-first functionality without internet connectivity
  • Institution has strict data governance requiring zero model training exposure and cannot accept Anthropic's standard data retention policies
  • Budget is extremely constrained and free tier usage limits are insufficient for institutional scale
