Products, side by side
Hand-checked pairing
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.
Agent 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.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
No counterpart
Anthropic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Writer yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
Model API
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Anthropic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
