Zissou in Your Pocket: AI Assistance for the Cool Nerd

Nerds, assemble! Fellow brains trapped in meat suits, behold the new age: the AI age! Where our little digital minion can perform all kinds of magic tricks like getting us a live stock report of our favorite pizza joint or bring us a forecast of today's weather so that we'd know whether wrapping oneself in five layers of clothes is a necessity or not. Exciting, isn't it?

The Lowdown on the Digits & Digits Alike

Boasting the golden badge as the enterprise plan (because who doesn’t love feeling important, right?), Anthropic’s fresh out of the oven plan is named, wait for it..., the 'Team' plan! This gives customers (that's you!) dibs on Anthropic's Claude 3 family of generative AI models plus ad hoc admin and user management controls. In non-techy jargon, it’s like having an all-powerful magical lane where everybody wants to go first.

Now, Scott White, our friend, and scribe at Anthropic dropped some wisdom about why Anthropic hit the oven with the ‘Team’ dough. He said, "Think of all the businesses that want to amp up the AI power deskside." He didn't exactly state that, but he has mentioned the increasing demand from businesses intending to enable Claude throughout their organizations in that moet-drinking, Bond-like suave lingo, which I may have altered slightly to suit all-terrain understanding.

What’s the Plus Side of being on ‘Team’?

Perhaps you are wondering, "What can TEAM do for ME?" Well, that’s simple. This plan is practically a protein-shake of goodies with high usage limit (see what I did there?), allowing members to hit the chat floor with Claude more frequently than you'd call your mom (we do that a lot!).

Furthermore, you get access to the Santa’s bag. Early access to new features, a 200K-token context window (which you can think of like a very observant and dedicated secretary who doesn't forget anything), and the best part—wait for it—new toggles for billing and user management! And that's without counting future collaboration features and improved tool use capabilities for Claude 3.

In brief, it positions Anthropic to play ball in the big league, as more and more companies shift focus from playing with AI (Who didn't love 'Her'? We feel you, Joaquin!) to integrating it for transformative business solutions.

Showing AI who’s the Boss? Hmm, Maybe!

Now before you jump on the “must-have” wagon, remember that even Sacha Baron Cohen had to convince the world that Borat was the real deal. It's a tough road ahead for generative AI to prove its worth in businesses.

Recent surveys share that 49% of companies see estimating and showing the value of an AI project as a mission even Tom Cruise could refuse. Another poll found 66% of execs believe generative AI is still getting ready to roll out substantive business results.

But hey, future forecasts for generative AI spending seem to shed bright light at the end of the tunnel. It's expected to reach $15.1 billion in 2027, which is an eightfold jump from its total in 2023. Didn't see that coming, did you? Even OpenAI is notching its game up with fresh tools for corporate compliance and governance requirements.

Get More Bang for Your Buck

Anthropic promises to be your best pal here: a Team plan at $30 per user a month, billable monthly, (minimum team size is five, so no loners here, buddy!). This makes it both competitive and approachable, considering the straight-up cost structure it upholds.

White has faith in Anthropic's potential, stating its AI integrated plan enables businesses to start small, for now, and take baby steps towards the AI future. Sounds like a win-win, eh?

The Cherry on Top of this AI Sundae – An iOS App

Like a perfect ending to an episode of your favorite show, Anthropic announced the release of an iOS app (Called it!), providing access to Claude 3, with both free and upgraded Pro and Team access.

In even more good news, it syncs with Anthropic’s client on the web. Plus, it harnesses Claude 3’s ability to spit out real-time analysis for uploaded and saved images. So you can have Claude summarize those dreadful presentation slides in a jiffy.

Just imagine, now you can smartly integrate Claude's mystic abilities right from your pocket. Let's all raise a digital toast to the new age. Go Team!
