We run on Claude.
You don't build on it.
eClips does not compete with Claude, LangChain, or Google's Gemini. We run on top of them. You get all of their intelligence, packaged as 80+ business-ready agents your operations team can use today — without writing a line of code.
The honest positioning
“eClips doesn't compete with Claude. We run on Claude. You get all of Claude's intelligence, packaged as business-ready agents your team can use today.”
The honest comparison
Building vs. buying.
This is what the engineering work actually looks like when you build on the raw APIs versus deploying eClips.
| Capability | Building with Claude / LangChain / Google | eClips |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Weeks of engineering | Minutes |
| Domain agents | Build from scratch | 80+ pre-built |
| ERP integrations | Build from scratch | 25 native connectors |
| Memory & learning | Build from scratch | Built-in Context Book |
| Graduated autonomy | Not possible | Native — Trust levels 1–5 |
| Visual workflow builder | Build graph engine, canvas UI, and run orchestration | Drag-and-drop canvas, conditional branching, live SSE streaming |
| Browser automation | Implement Playwright wrapper + safety model | eClips Reach, built-in |
| Human approval gates | Build UI + approval workflow from scratch | Built-in, Slack + dashboard |
| Audit logging | Roll your own | Immutable, per-action log |
| Multi-tenant isolation | Build RLS, API key rotation, org scoping | Enforced at database layer |
| Responsible AI controls | Prompt engineering only | Constitution block + orchestrator gates |
| Support | Anthropic / LangChain docs | Human CSM + AI + changelog |
| Time to first automation | 4–12 weeks (engineering-dependent) | Same day |
The architecture
Claude reasons.
eClips operates.
Claude (via Anthropic API) provides the reasoning engine: reading documents, understanding context, making classification decisions, generating structured outputs. eClips provides the operating layer: ingesting documents from any channel, routing based on your rules, writing back to your ERP, firing the right approval gates, and maintaining the audit trail.
You get Claude-quality reasoning on every document — with the infrastructure, compliance controls, and operational tooling that make it safe to run in production.
How Workforce worksCommon objections
The hard questions.
We already have engineers. Why not build it ourselves?
You can. The question is opportunity cost. Every week your engineers spend building extraction pipelines, approval UIs, circuit breakers, and multi-tenant RLS is a week they are not working on your core product. We have already built — and production-hardened — all of it. Use us for the commodity layer; use your engineers for the competitive layer.
We have a direct Claude API contract. Does eClips add cost?
eClips adds a thin orchestration and infrastructure layer on top of whatever model you use. The inference cost is pass-through. Our pricing is per agent run, not per token — which means your cost is predictable regardless of document length or agent chain depth.
What about LangChain / LangGraph?
LangChain is a framework; eClips is a product. Frameworks are excellent for researchers and AI engineers who want maximum flexibility. eClips is for operations teams who want agents working on their documents today, not after a 3-month implementation project. If you want to build custom chains, LangChain is great. If you want document operations running this week, that's what eClips is for.
What if we want to customise deeply?
Every piece of eClips is configurable: custom agent types, custom outcome contracts, custom routing rules, custom Context Book content, custom SQL RPC logic. Enterprise customers get full access to our solutions team for custom work. You are not locked into our templates — the templates are just where you start.
Is this just a wrapper around Claude?
No. Claude provides the reasoning engine. eClips provides the full operational layer: document ingestion, multi-format extraction, confidence scoring, routing rules, approval gates, ERP write-back, audit logging, multi-tenant isolation, graduated autonomy, and browser automation. You could not replicate this in a weekend with the Claude API — it took us 18 months.
Ready to see it on your documents?
Bring your actual invoices, POs, or contracts. We will run them through the extraction engine live during the demo — you see real accuracy numbers, not slide claims.
