How it connects
Older and custom systems often have no connector or API. Helm connects them using a method that suits your setup, including a dedicated AI workstation that works inside the software the way your team does, kept apart from everything else and with your approval on each action. We'll recommend the right approach on a 30-minute call.
What you need
- A Claude business plan (Team or Enterprise)
