Made by anthropics ## About ### What it is Claude Quickstarts is a set of starter projects for building applications on the Claude API. Each one is a working base that you reshape for your own use. The notes describe three: a customer support agent, a financial data analyst and a desktop-control environment. ### Who it suits Developers who want a head start on an app that talks to Claude fit best. So do teams exploring how a support, finance or computer-control agent can be put together. You should be comfortable reading and editing code. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Customer support | Support engineers | Start from the support agent and connect their own help content | A chat assistant that answers from a company knowledge base | | Finance | Analysts and data developers | Adapt the data analyst project to ask questions about financial figures in chat | A chat that turns a question about figures into an interactive chart | | Software development | Agent builders | Use the desktop environment to let Claude operate a computer through tools | A prototype agent working on a test machine | Skip it if you want a finished chat app, since nothing in this kit runs by itself. ### Where to use it Inside your own code, built on the Claude API. - Your own codebase: each quickstart is a project you download and edit - The Claude API: every project calls it with your key - A knowledge base: the support agent answers with help from one - A desktop environment: the computer-control project gives Claude one to operate | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Support assistant | Support teams | A chat agent that answers with help from a knowledge base | | Finance chat | Analysts | Answers about financial data, shown with interactive charts | | Computer control | Agent builders | A setup where Claude operates a desktop computer through tools | ### How to set it up You need an Anthropic account to get a Claude API key, and the source says signing up is free. - Claude API key: every quickstart calls the API with it - Git: to download the repository - Anything the chosen quickstart lists in its own README 1. Sign up and create a Claude API key in the Anthropic console. 2. Download the repository with Git, using the address on its GitHub page. 3. Open the quickstart you want to build on. 4. Follow the setup written in its README. Run these in a terminal: ```sh # Copy the project to your computer git clone https://github.com/anthropics/claude-quickstarts.git # Go into its folder cd claude-quickstarts ``` ### For newcomers and experts If you are new, think of each quickstart as a small finished app you can open and read. A good first step is to get an API key, pick the customer support project and see how it uses its knowledge base. If you know the field, each project is an application that calls the Claude API with your key. The support and finance projects add a knowledge base and interactive charts around the model, and the desktop project supplies an environment plus tools for it to operate. They are starting points, so expect to adapt them to your needs. You get a Claude API key → You pick one quickstart → You follow its README setup → The app sends requests to Claude → You change it to fit your idea ### Good to know Nothing here runs by itself. The kit holds notes and the location of the code, and each project has its own setup. - License: MIT - Cost to run: A Claude API key is needed. Signing up is free per the source, and no other paid service is named. - Data it reaches: The support agent reads a knowledge base, the finance project works on financial data, and the desktop project controls a computer. - Not for: A ready-made product. These are bases to build on and adapt. ## How to use it Install it from GitHub as its README says.
