Anthropic

AI agent

Claude CodeAI agent

Coding agent that works on a codebase from the terminal, an IDE extension and a desktop app.

Claude CoworkAI agent

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.

Claude in ChromeAI agent

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.

Toloka

AI agent

TendemAI agent

A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.

No counterpart

Anthropic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Application

ClaudeApplication

Assistant for chat, document analysis and coding, used in the browser and in desktop and mobile apps.

Claude DesignApplication

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.

Claude ScienceApplication

Desktop application for scientific research that runs analyses, searches scientific databases and traces work from data wrangling through to publication.

Claude SecurityApplication

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 for Microsoft 365Application

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 for SlackApplication

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.

Agent platform

Claude Managed AgentsAgent platform

Hosted API offering a pre-built configurable agent harness with managed sandboxes and persistent sessions for long-running asynchronous agent tasks, billed separately from token usage.

Developer tool

Claude Agent SDKDeveloper 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.

Model API

Claude APIModel API

Hosted API for the Claude models, billed per token.

Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Anthropic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Platform

Toloka ArenaPlatform

An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.

Toloka TrainPlatform

A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.

Data service

Off-the-shelf DatasetsData service

Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.

Toloka Physical AIData service

Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.

Toloka PlatformData service

A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.
