But now they've also added plugins.

So plugins are basically designed to automate specialized tasks for a bunch of different departments inside of your company.

So that could mean writing marketing copy, reviewing legal documents for risk, if you're generating customer support responses.

Every single plugin applies a Gentic automation to a specific workflow, which basically lets your team streamline any sort of repeatable work that you do and do it really consistently, which is really cool.

So according to Anthropic, plugins let organizations define how work should be done, which tools and data sources Cloud should use, and then also how critical workflows are handled.

Matt Piccoletta, who is a member of Anthropic's product team, was talking about all of this and said that plugins are basically intentionally built to be customizable.

So what they say they expect is that enterprise customers are going to develop their own use cases using all of these plugins as part of this kind of big launch that they just did.

Anthropic also open sourced 11 internal plugins, while also saying that custom plugins are really easy to build, edit, and share, even if you don't have any expertise, you're not a developer.

Plugins have basically existed inside of Cloud Code for a long time, but now they're bringing them to co-work, which I think is, you know, fantastic.

A lot of the best features that are in Cloud Code, if you could just give that to the general population that is not developers, I think this is going to be really popular.

So they're bringing them all into co-work, and I think this is basically about making the functionality increase for Cloud and for more people.

This is what they said about it.

They said, quote, what we're really doing with this launch is bringing them to co-work and giving them a more user-friendly UI-centric experience so the maximum number of people can use them.

Inside of Anthropic themselves, plugins have already had a lot of good traction.

Apparently, they say inside of their departments.

Like data analysts and sales, they're using these a lot.

And then Piccoletta also kind of said that the sales was a particularly strong example, like they see a lot of benefit from this.

He said that the plugins helped not only direct sales teams, but also sales adjacents employees stay better connected to customers and customers.

And I've seen a lot of stuff.
