This guide introduces Claude's enterprise capabilities, the end-to-end flow for developing with Claude, and how to start building.
What you can do with Claude
Claude is designed to empower enterprises at scale with strong performance across benchmark evaluations for reasoning, math, coding, and fluency in English and non-English languages.
Here's a non-exhaustive list of Claude's capabilities and common uses.
| Capability | Enables you to... |
|---|
| Text and code generation | - Adhere to brand voice for excellent customer-facing experiences such as copywriting and chatbots
- Create production-level code and operate (in-line code generation, debugging, and conversational querying) within complex codebases
- Build automatic translation features between languages
- Conduct complex financial forecasts
- Support legal use cases that require high-quality technical analysis, long context windows for processing detailed documents, and fast outputs
|
| Vision | - Process and analyze visual input, such as extracting insights from charts and graphs
- Generate code from images with code snippets or templates based on diagrams
- Describe an image for a user with low vision
|
| Tool use | - Interact with external client-side tools and functions, allowing Claude to reason, plan, and execute actions by generating structured outputs through API calls
|
Enterprise considerations
Along with an extensive set of features, tools, and capabilities, Claude is also built to be secure, trustworthy, and scalable for wide-reaching enterprise needs.
| Feature | Description |
|---|
| Secure | - Enterprise-grade security and data handling for API
- SOC II Type 2 certified, HIPAA compliance options for API
- Accessible through AWS (GA) and GCP (in private preview)
|
| Trustworthy | - Resistant to jailbreaks and misuse. We continuously monitor prompts and outputs for harmful, malicious use cases that violate our AUP.
- Copyright indemnity protections for paid commercial services
- Uniquely positioned to serve high trust industries that process large volumes of sensitive user data
|
| Capable | - 200K token context window for expanded use cases, with future support for 1M
- Tool use, also known as function calling, which allows seamless integration of Claude into specialized applications and custom workflows
- Multimodal input capabilities with text output, allowing you to upload images (such as tables, graphs, and photos) along with text prompts for richer context and complex use cases
- Developer Console with Workbench and prompt generation tool for easier, more powerful prompting and experimentation
- SDKs and APIs to expedite and enhance development
|
| Reliable | - Very low hallucination rates
- Accurate over long documents
|
| Global | - Great for coding tasks and fluency in English and non-English languages like Spanish and Japanese
- Enables use cases like translation services and broader global utility
|
| Cost conscious | - Family of models balances cost, performance, and intelligence
|
- Identify a problem to solve or tasks to automate with Claude.
- Define requirements: features, performance, and cost.
- Select Claude's capabilities (e.g., vision, tool use) and models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) based on needs.
- Choose a deployment method, such as the Claude API, AWS Bedrock, or Vertex AI.
- Identify and clean relevant data (databases, code repos, knowledge bases) for Claude's context.
- Use Workbench to create evals, draft prompts, and iteratively refine based on test results.
- Deploy polished prompts and monitor real-world performance for further refinement.
- Set up your environment, integrate Claude with your systems (APIs, databases, UIs), and define human-in-the-loop requirements.
- Conduct red teaming for potential misuse and A/B test improvements.
- Once your application runs smoothly end-to-end, deploy to production.
- Monitor performance and effectiveness to make ongoing improvements.
