AI-first by design: How Anthropic transformed support operations with Fin
Anthropic's support operation started with a single person managing rapidly growing conversation volume across a diverse user base — from free consumers to enterprise API customers — with no scalable system and constant trade-offs being made.

Stage 1 · Support conversation arrives
Support conversations arrive from users ranging from free consumers to enterprise API customers, each with different needs and levels of technical complexity.
