Advancing Chatbots Through Tool Use in the Workplace

AI startups like Anthropic are enhancing chatbots by teaching them tool use to make them more beneficial in office settings. Current chatbots are limited to text interactions, but new technology enables AI agents to operate software and perform tasks beyond text-based communication. For example, Anthropic's chatbot Claude can utilize external services like calculators and databases to solve complex problems and access customer information, optimizing its usefulness in assisting workers. This approach marks a step towards developing more practical AI helpers that can successfully complete tasks in various business environments.
