How this report works
Included are assistants whose catalog entry (checked 2026-10-26) names Claude or Anthropic as a model or provider. The model line comes from each product's own pages and does not tell you which model answers a given request. They are ranked by the average of all ten tests, with at least four taken. Scores come from the published score sheet and are dated 2026-10-27. 5 of the 6 ranked assistants (Neo, Bantr, Airtap, Buoy and Friday) carry pre-filled scores, which are placeholder estimates the site has not yet replaced with its own test runs, so treat their places as provisional. Ollie is not pre-filled.
How to choose
- Do not assume the model decides the result. Assistants that list Claude average anywhere from 5.8 to 8.1 on our tests, so look at the scores, not the label.
- Read the model line. Ollie lists Anthropic, Google and OpenAI, Friday lists Anthropic through Amazon Bedrock alongside Gemini and Azure OpenAI, and Bantr names Anthropic without a model.
- Compare the tests they took: Airtap has four scores and the others six to ten, so its average rests on less.
Which AI assistants use Claude?
Six in our catalog list Anthropic or Claude: Airtap, Bantr, Buoy, Friday, Neo and Ollie. All six also list models from other providers, except Bantr, which names Anthropic only (no model named).
Is there an assistant I can run on Claude myself?
OpenClaw, a self-hosted open-source assistant, names Claude as a swappable plugin alongside Codex and local models. It is not in this ranking because its entry does not list Claude as its model.
Which of the six scores best?
Neo averages 8.1 over ten tests and Ollie 7.8 over eight; Bantr is next at 7.0. Only Ollie is not pre-filled, so the other places are provisional.
What users say
From there Buoy searched X, found my linked GitHub page (which currently 404s as I privated it), and even decided to look at my HuggingFace profile somehow. I’ve never seen an AI agent so willing to be proactive.
