External capability under a DataInbox policy boundary

Stable architecture, replaceable provider

DataInbox decides. The Companion performs.

A provider page describes where an external capability can fit. It does not move business logic, consent, permissions, or final authority into that provider.

Anthropic AI Companion FAQ

What is the Anthropic AI Companion?

It is a provider-specific implementation of the DataInbox Companion contract. DataInbox prepares a standardised AI task under business-controlled conditions, Claude API performs the permitted capability, and the result returns to the Inbox as a governed business message.

Does using Anthropic put business logic in the provider?

No. Business rules, permissions, context selection, routing policy, and result handling remain in DataInbox. The Companion supplies an external capability and returns a standardised result.

Can Anthropic be replaced by another AI Companion?

Yes, when another Companion satisfies the same task and output contract. The replacement remains subject to company policy, connector availability, credentials, regional requirements, and validation.

Compare other AI Companion options

Provider choice remains a policy decision. Actual availability depends on the configured connector, credentials, region, contract, and deployment.
