May 13, 2026 Announcements Introducing Claude for Small Business

Introducing Claude for Small Business We're launching Claude for Small Business—a package of connectors and ready-to-run workflows that put Claude inside the tools small businesses depend on—to help small business owners take full advantage of AI and cross off items on the to-do list. Small businesses account for 44% of U.S. GDP and employ nearly half the private-sector workforce, but their adoption of AI has lagged behind larger enterprises. Tools and training are rarely tailored to the ways small businesses operate, and as a result their use often stops at the chat window. As part of our public benefit mission, we are committed to helping business owners harness AI more fully and effectively for their most important work. Claude for Small Business is a toggle install that puts Claude to work inside the tools small business owners already use: Intuit Quickbooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. From these tools, it can plan payroll, close the month, run a sales campaign, chase invoices, and more. “Small businesses make up nearly half the American economy, but they've never had the resources of bigger companies. AI is the first technology that can finally close that gap, which is why we're launching Claude for Small Business, alongside training and partnerships to make sure AI shows up for the entrepreneurs and communities who need it most. Claude for Small Business runs inside the tools owners already rely on, like QuickBooks, PayPal, and HubSpot, and takes on the work that piles up after hours, like planning payroll, chasing invoices, or kicking off a marketing project. People run the business, and Claude helps take the late-night work off their plates.” —Daniela Amodei, Co-founder and President of Anthropic How it works Toggle on Claude for Small Business inside Claude Cowork, connect the tools you already use, and pick the job. Claude does the work; you approve before anything sends, posts, or pays. It ships with 15 ready-to-run agentic workflows across finance, operations, sales, marketing, HR, and customer service. It also includes 15 skills built on the repeatable tasks owners told us slow them down most. These include: - Planning payroll with confidence. Settle your QuickBooks cash position against incoming PayPal settlements, build a 30-day forecast, rank what's overdue, and queue the reminders for you to approve and send. - Closing the month with fewer errors. Reconcile your books against settlements, flag what doesn't match, write a plain-English P&L, and export a close packet you can forward straight to your accountant through Intuit QuickBooks. - Getting a pulse on your business. Surface your most important business insights on a schedule, all on one page: view your cash position through Intuit QuickBooks, sales trend, pipeline movement, this week's commitments, and more. - Running your next campaign. Find the slow stretch in your revenue, analyze your HubSpot campaign performance, draft the promo strategy, and generate the assets in Canva to prepare your next send. There's also an invoice chaser, margin analyzer, month-end prepper, tax-season organizer, contract reviewer,…
