When Claude changed, everything changed: Managing AI blast radius in production
Summary
The article describes a production use case of Anthropic's Claude model: a system that translates natural language questions into API calls, helping analysts and operations staff retrieve reports from multiple data sources. The system uses an LLM to generate JSON queries, calls backend services, and delivers results via email, documents, or charts. By mid-2025, the system generated several hundred reports per month, becoming the default way for teams to pull ad-hoc data. The article emphasizes the importance of a structured JSON interface between the LLM and the rest of the system.
