Anthropic’s Claude for Small Business plugin will bring new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered capabilities to tools commonly used by small businesses, the company and its partners said Wednesday (May 13).
Introduced Wednesday, Claude for Small Business is a package of connectors and ready-to-run workflows that put Anthropic’s Claude AI assistant inside those tools, Anthropic said in a press release.
“Claude for small business runs inside the tools owners already rely on, like QuickBooks, PayPal, and HubSpot, and takes on the work that piles up after hours, like planning payroll, chasing invoices, or kicking off a marketing project,” Anthropic Co-founder and President Daniela Amodei said in the release. “People run the business, and Claude helps take the late-night work off their plates.”
Claude for Small Business currently integrates with seven tools.
Canva said in a Wednesday press release that the integration of its Canva Design Engine into Claude for Small Business will enable small business owners to quickly develop branded campaign assets such as Instagram posts, Facebook posts and custom ads.
PayPal said in a Wednesday press release that its integration with Claude for Small Business will enable Claude to handle tasks such as invoicing and refunds, while requiring approval before anything is sent or paid. As PYMNTS reported, PayPal also partnered with Anthropic to offer a free online course called AI Fluency for Small Business.
