Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic announced Wednesday the release of Claude for Legal artifacts, with plans to provide users with 12 practice group-specific plug-ins and connectors to over 60 other legal platforms.

Claude for Legal’s expansion encompasses reusable digital products, or artifacts, featuring tools, dashboards and workflows. The release of about 18 artifacts for commercial legal work will be tailored for intake, tabular review, regulatory tracking, jurisdiction surveys and citation confirmation. Users will have the option of customizing the artifacts and designing their own, according to coverage by Law.com.

Anthropic’s artifacts release continues a trend in Big Tech that includes Microsoft, Legora and OpenAI, which also launched legal-specific tools. Anthropic is also unveiling artifacts designed by partner organizations Goodwin Procter, Foley & Lardner, Harvey and PricewaterhouseCoopers. In addition, the company will launch a program for law schools and justice-oriented organizations that provides them with Claude seat licenses and application programming interface.

“We heard from legal users that they wanted something that was a little bit easier to use and adapt, rather than this blank screen that the Claude chat experience is,” said Robert Mahari, the head of Claude for Legal. “You can now take this, and it’s pretty close to ready to use.”
