Anthropic is looking to bring its AI chatbot, Claude, to enterprises.
One of Instagram’s co-founders is joining artificial intelligence startup Anthropic to help the company deliver generative AI-powered products, particularly for enterprise businesses.
Anthropic hired Instagram co-founder and former chief technology officer Mike Krieger to serve as the company’s new chief product officer. Krieger is set to oversee Anthropic’s efforts to engineer, manage, and design new products within a suite of enterprise applications. Founded in 2021 by a group of former OpenAI executives, Anthropic created the large language model Claude to serve as a more ethically focused alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot.
In a statement, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said, “Mike’s background in developing intuitive products and user experiences will be invaluable as we create new ways for people to interact with Claude, particularly in the workplace.”
On X, Krieger posted that “as a two time entrepreneur, I’m particularly excited by how Claude, along with the right scaffolding and product features, can empower more people to innovate at a faster pace and at a lower cost.”
Earlier this month, Anthropic announced Claude’s Team plan, which gives organizations a shared workspace with exclusive administrative and billing tools for a monthly $30 per-person fee. In March, the company announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services and Accenture to train more than 1,400 Accenture engineers with Anthropic’s models. These engineers will provide Accenture customers with customized support, and help customers fine-tune Anthropic’s models for their specific needs.
In January 2023, Krieger and Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom launched Artifact, an AI-powered news feed that uses machine learning to identify the topics you’re interested in and suggest related stories. But in January 2024, the founders shut Artifact down, concluding that “the market opportunity isn’t big enough to warrant continued investment.” In April, Yahoo announced it had bought Artifact, and would integrate its AI-powered personalization tech across Yahoo’s ecosystem.
