The San Francisco startup said Wednesday, Feb 4, that it will not introduce ads or sponsored links into Claude, framing the decision as a matter of trust at a moment when generative artificial intelligence tools are becoming more personal – and more lucrative.
"We want Claude to act unambiguously in our users' interests," Anthropic wrote in a blog post. "So we've made a choice: Claude will remain ad-free. Our users won't see 'sponsored' links adjacent to their conversations with Claude; nor will Claude's responses be influenced by advertisers or include third-party product placements our users did not ask for."
