Back to EpisodesEp. 133 | Anthropic Is Putting People Inside Organizations — And It's the AI Play That Actually Works
Episode 133
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Anthropic just spent $150 million to put real people inside real organizations to make AI actually work — and that single move reveals the real secret to AI adoption that no product launch ever will.
Michael and Frank break down Claude Corps, Anthropic's fellowship program placing 1,000 AI-trained fellows inside US nonprofits, and why it proves the same thing OpenAI's Partner Network does: the bottleneck is never the AI, it's always the people. You'll learn why no degree is required, how the economics work for small businesses, and the simple two-ingredient recipe for creating your own internal AI champion without hiring a consultant or getting a certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Claude Corps?
Anthropic's $150M fellowship program that places 1,000 trained fellows inside US nonprofits for a year to help them use Claude effectively. The first cohort of about 100 starts in October 2026.
How is this different from OpenAI's Partner Network?
OpenAI's Partner Network is a for-profit consulting channel — certified consultants who sell you OpenAI products. Claude Corps is a fellowship with no sales agenda — fellows are embedded to help organizations, not upsell them.
How can a small business create something similar?
Find the most AI-curious person on your team. Give them two hours a week and a clear mandate to find AI solutions for your biggest time-wasting processes. Track what works. Share it with the team. That person is your own internal AI champion.
