Anthropic Partners with UK Government to Deploy Claude-Powered AI Assistant on GOV.UK

Anthropic has been selected by the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to build and pilot an AI-powered assistant for GOV.UK, initially focused on helping job seekers navigate employment services and training resources. The system is described as agentic, maintaining context across interactions and routing users to appropriate services. The partnership builds on a February 2025 MOU and follows DSIT's 'Scan, Pilot, Scale' phased deployment framework, with Anthropic engineers embedded alongside civil servants at the Government Digital Service. A stated goal is building independent AI and AI safety expertise within the UK government.
