In this episode, Kate dives into:

• How enterprises are using Claude to revolutionize their businesses, including AIG making their underwriting 5x faster
• The latest on Anthropic’s products and MCP
• Why Anthropic moved up to the application layer in financial services (and why they don't find it competitive with their API clients)
• Key blockers that remain for enterprise adoption
• Why AI’s market size allows Anthropic to approach partnerships in a collaborative, client-first way
• Why siblings (John/Patrick, Dario/Daniela) actually make the best leadership duos
• and much more
