Anthropic offers Claude as a platform for building customer service AI assistants, which businesses integrate to handle support inquiries from customers. Lyft incorporated Claude via Amazon Bedrock into its customer care assistant in late 2024, reducing average resolution time by over 87% while routing complex cases to human agents.
Details
Anthropic maintains a dedicated customer support solutions page and offers Claude to businesses via direct API, Amazon Bedrock, and partners such as Salesforce Agentforce. Claude takes incoming customer messages and account or trip context as input and produces natural-language responses, case resolutions, or escalation decisions as output. Lyft incorporated Claude via Amazon Bedrock in late 2024; its AI assistant handles routine support for 40 million-plus annual riders and over 1 million drivers, with complex cases routed to human agents. Lyft states resolution times dropped by over 87% and that savings were reinvested in upskilling human support staff.

Other practices by Anthropic
OtherAnthropic has partnered with scientific and government institutions to deploy Claude in research settings. In January 2026, Claude helped guide NASA's Perseverance rover to travel 400 meters across Mars — the first time an AI assistant helped navigate a spacecraft on another planet. Partnerships with major biomedical research institutions are also underway to use Claude in laboratory and computational research.OtherAnthropic developed a specialized AI model called Claude Mythos to help find dangerous security flaws in software before malicious actors do. Because the model is powerful enough to create its own exploits, it is not available to the public — access is restricted to approximately 40 vetted organizations, including major technology and financial companies, for defensive use only.OtherAnthropic operates a formal safety framework called the Responsible Scaling Policy that sets rules for when and how it can train and release more powerful AI models. Under this policy, each new Claude model is assigned a safety level, and passing specific safety tests is required before the model can be deployed. The framework is now in its third version and has been updated as Claude's capabilities have grown.
