The announcement
Welcome to Claude Enterprise
What Claude Enterprise unlocks for the team, why we made the call, and how to get started this week.
To: PDG All Staff From: Brian Athey Date: May 20, 2026
We've picked our AI platform. It's Claude Enterprise — the premium tier of the most capable AI on the market — and starting today, every PDG staffer has a seat.
This isn't a pilot. It isn't a perk for the design team or the political team or anyone in particular. Claude is the platform we expect work to get done on. The license, the training, and the support are PDG's investment in you.
Here is how Claude can enhance your workflow and our company values:
1. Creativity: A creative partner that remembers what you're working on.
Brainstorm campaign angles. Stress-test a strategy. Draft thirty subject-line variants and find the three that work. Pick up a Monday brief on Friday and Claude is still with you — context held across days and weeks, so creative momentum doesn't reset every time you step away.
2. Excellence: Output that's sharper than what you'd make alone.
Claude consistently leads the field on writing, analysis, and reasoning — and it plugs into Asana, Google Drive, Slack, and the other tools you already live in through MCP integrations. The difference between an okay model and a great one shows up in the third draft, not the first.
3. Humility: More hours back for the work only you can do.
Meeting recaps, formatting, first-pass research, status updates — exactly what AI is best at. Hand those off and reclaim the hours for the work that actually requires your judgment, taste, and relationships.
4. Trustworthiness: Boldness, because your work stays yours.
Anthropic's enterprise terms guarantee that what you put into Claude isn't used to train future models. Inputs and outputs are encrypted end-to-end. Access flows through PDG's identity provider, so when someone leaves, their access goes with them. Put real work in without thinking twice.
5. Stewardship: The right specialty tools, on the company's dime.
Consolidating fragmented AI spend frees up a real budget for the voice, video, and image tools that actually move work forward. Pay once for the right thing, not twice for the same thing.
How to get started
Read the AI Usage Policy that ships with this announcement. Sign the acknowledgment. Come to the rollout training. Ask questions in office hours, in #ai-announcements, or on Slack.
If something isn't working — the tool, the policy, the process — tell us. This is the start of how PDG works with AI, not the end. We'll iterate.
What you can expect from us
A real platform. Real training. A clear, fast process when you need a tool we haven't approved yet. An open door when you have a question or a mistake to walk back. The Innovation team is here for exactly this.
