Anthropic
Application
Assistant for chat, document analysis and coding, used in the browser and in desktop and mobile apps.
Lets users collaborate with Claude to create on-brand visual work (decks, prototypes, wireframes, marketing collateral) with design-system import and Claude Code integration via /design-sync.
Desktop application for scientific research that runs analyses, searches scientific databases and traces work from data wrangling through to publication.
Application that scans codebases for high-severity vulnerabilities, validates findings by adversarial verification and recommends patches for review, with a companion Claude Code plugin.
Claude working inside Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook with context carried across the documents — preserving templates and house styles and showing every edit as tracked changes, highlighted cells or draft emails.
Claude tagged as @Claude inside Slack threads and channels: it reads thread context and replies in real time, analyses conversations, pulls data, drafts content, monitors channels, triages alerts and runs standing instructions without leaving Slack.
AI agent
Coding agent that works on a codebase from the terminal, an IDE extension and a desktop app.
Agentic task app in which Claude works asynchronously across a user's files and tools toward a stated goal, checked in on from desktop, web or phone.
Browser extension that lets Claude act inside Chrome on the user's behalf — reading pages, clicking, typing and filling forms to work through multi-step web tasks without approving each step, with the user keeping control of what it may do.
Developer tool
Python and TypeScript library that runs the same agent loop, tools and context management that power Claude Code, so developers can embed the loop in their own process rather than calling the API directly.
SAP
Application
Natural-language generative-AI copilot embedded across SAP's cloud applications, answering questions and taking actions across HR, finance, supply chain, procurement and customer-experience data.
Embedded machine learning that automates matching of incoming payments to open invoices in accounts receivable, learning continuously from accountants' correction behaviour.
End-to-end intelligent document processing for structured and unstructured business documents, using OCR, pretrained transformers and LLMs to extract and validate data, embedded across SAP applications such as Ariba, S/4HANA Cloud and Concur.
AI assistance for consultants working on SAP implementation and cloud-transformation projects, grounded in a knowledge base of SAP-focused content.
AI agent
AI agents encoded with SAP business-process expertise that automate workflows at scale, coordinated by context-aware assistants across finance, supply chain, spend management, HR and customer-experience functions.
A unified workspace where people describe a goal in natural language and Joule surfaces insights, automates routine work and coordinates Joule Agents across SAP and non-SAP systems, available as web, desktop and mobile apps.
Developer tool
SAP's AI-first development environment for building custom AI agents, apps and workflows with low-code and pro-code tools, powered by the SAP Business AI Platform.
Embedded AI capabilities in SAP Build and ABAP Cloud that generate application code, data models, tests and UI from natural-language prompts, including an SAP-trained ABAP large language model.
