The specifics:
Using its Clio privacy tool, Anthropic researchers supplied 100K anonymized talks, mapping tasks to federal labor data to determine productivity increases.
The average work request takes about 90 minutes without help, and researchers discovered that Claude reduces task completion time by nearly 80%.
19% of projected productivity gains are attributed to software developers, with operations managers, marketing experts, and customer support positions following.
Curriculum development (96%), research support (91%), and executive administrative responsibilities (87%) are a few examples of tasks that resulted in significant time savings.

The true impact of AI against its hype is a topic of much discussion, but this study demonstrates the true benefits across a range of industries and tasks. However, the analysis avoids the more important question of whether the projected doubling of productivity increase is accompanied by the job displacement that Anthropic's CEO has been warning about.
