Anthropic courts mom-and-pop shops with Claude for Small Business

# Anthropic Launches Claude for Small Business Anthropic released a new AI tool specifically designed for small businesses—like HVAC contractors and landscaping companies—to automate everyday tasks like payroll, invoicing, and marketing without needing technical expertise. The tool plugs directly into software you probably already use (like QuickBooks, PayPal, and Google Workspace) and comes with built-in workflows for common business problems, meaning you get pre-built solutions rather than starting from scratch. Anthropic also created a free training course to help small business owners understand and use AI effectively in their work.
