Short answer
Claude is the family of AI models and the AI assistant made by Anthropic. Businesses use Claude through Claude Team and Enterprise plans, the API, and connectors that link it to tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Workspace and Slack, for research, writing, analysis, coding and agent work.
Claude explained
Claude is available as a chat assistant on web, desktop and mobile, through the Claude API, and through cloud platforms such as Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI. Team and Enterprise plans add admin controls, single sign-on, usage management and commitments that business data is not used to train models by default.
Anthropic created the Model Context Protocol, so Claude has strong support for connecting to business systems. Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK support software and agent development.
How Vantage Point helps: as a Claude partner, we run Claude rollouts for teams, including connector setup, usage policies, training and Salesforce or HubSpot integration.
