claude explained

One Brand. Four Different Things.

When someone says “can we integrate Claude?” they might mean the app, the coding tool, the team workspace, or the models underneath all of them. Those are related – but they are not the same thing.

The foundation

Claude Models

The underlying intelligence. Every product below is powered by the same large language models – but each uses them differently and adds different features.

Claude App

Anthropic’s main chat interface to Claude models. It's a full product that you use directly, it’s not something you can build on.

Anthropic-owned product
Developer tool

Claude Code

Terminal-based coding assistant. Helps engineers build software with Claude models – it isn’t part of what they build.

PC-based automation

Claude Cowork

A visual version of Claude Code for creating/editing your files with Claude models. Designed for automation on your PC, not for collaboration.

Praxis

Connects to Claude (and other) models through the API. Allows you to build agents using the large language models and other tools and platforms.

what we actually hear

Two questions that come up in almost every conversation.

1

“I built something in Claude – can we just deploy it?”

Anything built in Claude is most likely a great prototype. It helped shape the idea and do some early testing. But the code Claude generated inside the app was designed to show you how something could look, not to deploy as a complete solution.

What the generated code is usually missing

  • No authentication or access control
  • No error handling when things go wrong
  • No monitoring, logging, or audit trails
  • No connection to your real systems or external APIs
  • No way to update reliably once it is live

The thinking and design are worth keeping. The code needs to be altered to work properly on a solid foundation, inside a system designed for production.

“Can Praxis let me build things the way I do in the Claude app?”

The Claude app is Anthropic’s product. The experience of chatting with a model, generating smart reports/dashboards and scripts, and iterating on your ideas lives inside their app. Praxis is not designed to recreate that process.

Praxis connects to the same Claude models, but wraps them in something different. Instead of a blank canvas you experiment in, Praxis gives you an agent-building system that remembers context, enforces rules, requires approvals, connects to real tools, and leaves an audit trail.

If you need a canvas to explore ideas, the Claude app (or Gemini or ChatGPT app) is excellent at that. When the idea is ready to become a fully functioning business process, that is when it can become a Praxis Agent.

where confusion happens

Using Claude and 'integrating Claude' are not the same activity.

Someone may use a prompt or create a workflow inside the Claude app and assume it can simply be plugged into a Praxis Agent. That is understandable, but the app is Anthropic's product. Our integrations happen through the API directly to the models.

where praxis connects

The models supply intelligence. Praxis Agents contain all the other systems around them.

We do not embed any consumer chat apps. We connect to the model directly, then add the controls, logic, and integrations real businesses need in their agents.

practical examples

When people are talking about Claude

These are the kinds of things we hear all the time. How all the Claude products work together becomes clearer when you understand what each one actually means.

Someone built an app with Claude and wants to deploy it

What that means

They used the Claude app’s “artifact” feature to generate a working demo.

What it does not mean

The generated code is production-ready or safe to deploy to real users.

What Praxis would do

We would take the validated idea, rebuild it on our full architecture, then equip it with approvals, controlled permissions, and the integrations the business actually needs.

Someone used Claude to draft a campaign plan

What that means

They used the Claude app as a working environment.

What it does not mean

The app itself can now be dropped directly into our platform.

What Praxis would do

We would rebuild that capability on top of our model access, then connect it to approvals, channels, CRM, calendars, assets, and reporting.

A team wants to build things the way they do inside Claude

What that means

They like the conversational, iterative experience of working with a model.

What it does not mean

Praxis Agents should replicate Anthropic’s app UI or become another chat canvas.

What Praxis would do

Praxis Agents use the same models but deliver them through structured agents – with memory, rules, real integrations, and an audit trail. Different interface, different purpose.

A product team wants AI inside their own platform

What that means

They need Anthropic API access plus product logic.

What it does not mean

They need to embed Anthropic’s consumer app.

What Praxis would do

Praxis Agents currently sit in their own platform and ecosystem. This would be a new product build in the user's existing platform.

faq

FAQs About Claude and Praxis

I built something with Claude – can we just deploy that?

You can build some very advanced and cool-looking things with Claude. But code generated inside the Claude app is designed to demonstrate, not to deploy to real users. It usually doesn't include auth, error handling, monitoring, or stable connection to your real systems. The thinking is worth keeping – the code needs rebuilding on a fuller foundation.

Can Praxis give me the same experience as the Claude app?

Praxis uses the same underlying Claude models, but it is not trying to recreate Anthropic’s app. The Claude app is a sandbox for exploration. Praxis is an agent building platform that adds workflows, memory, approvals, integrations, and audit trails. They are different interfaces with different purposes. Use Claude to explore ideas, and use Praxis Agents when those ideas need to run as real business processes.

Can Praxis integrate Claude?

Usually that really means integrating Claude models into Praxis - which we absolutely do, either through Anthropic's API or the Google Cloud API. Praxis connects at the model/API layer, not by embedding Anthropic’s consumer app.

Do you mean the Claude app or the Claude models?

Those are related, but not the same thing. The app is the product most people use directly. The models are the underlying capability developers build with.

Is Claude Code something customers use inside Praxis?

No. Claude Code is a tool for developers. It can help build software, but it is not the business-software integration layer customers interact with in Praxis.

What about Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic’s local desktop application for working with Claude models. It is not the integration layer a business platform would build on.

If I built a process in Claude already, can Praxis use that thinking?

Yes, often as a starting point. The idea, prompt structure, or workflow logic can inform what gets built, but it still needs to be reconstructed properly on the model layer and wrapped in Praxis’s own controls.

Why can’t you just embed the app?

Because the app is Anthropic’s finished product experience. A production system like Praxis Agents needs direct model access plus its own permissions, workflow logic, integrations, memory, and audit trail.

next step

If you proved a workflow in Claude, the next step is building it properly.

Praxis turns model capability into a governed system with approvals, memory, integrations, and traceable execution.
