On this page

Astound gives you Claude with your organisation's skills and tools. Most people use it in Claude Cowork on their laptop; developers use Claude Code in a terminal. You do not need to run or build anything.

Business users: set up Cowork

Set up Astound on your laptop takes about ten minutes and uses no commands. On Windows you turn on one Windows feature, download Astound Bridge, run it as administrator and sign in. On a Mac you download the bridge, open it, sign in and install the Claude profile it gives you. Then you connect your tools, sync, and open Cowork.

If you are unsure what your account can reach, ask your systemprompt administrator before you start. What you can do once connected is described in the business workspace page: presale, accounts and delivery skills beside the Salesforce plugin.

Developers: Claude Code

Connect Claude Code routes your terminal through the Astound gateway on macOS, Linux and Windows. Agent runs from Claude Code covers starting and watching workflow runs. Develop against a local gateway is for people changing the platform itself.
