How Claude is Transforming Work at Anthropic
With AI assistance, engineers are successfully tackling tasks beyond their core expertise. Backend engineers build sophisticated UIs, researchers create interactive visualizations, and security engineers analyze unfamiliar codebases. 27% of Claude-assisted work consists of tasks that wouldn't have been done otherwise, enabling engineers to become truly full-stack across domains they previously "would've been scared to touch."
AI enables dramatically faster feedback loops and learning cycles. Engineers report productivity boosts from 20% → 50%, with tasks that previously took weeks now completed in hours. Claude now handles 21.2 consecutive actions (up 116% from 9.8) while requiring 33% fewer human interventions, creating tighter, more efficient iteration cycles.
AI enables engineers to address the "papercuts" and quality-of-life improvements that were previously deprioritized. 8.6% of Claude Code tasks involve fixing these small but important issues—refactoring code, building internal tools, creating documentation, and running exploratory experiments. This represents a fundamental shift in what engineers can afford to spend time on.
