# Inside Ode with Anthropic, the startup betting AI services are the future of enterprise | TechCrunch Source: [https://techcrunch.com/video/inside-ode-with-anthropic-the-startup-betting-ai-services-are-the-future-of-enterprise/](https://techcrunch.com/video/inside-ode-with-anthropic-the-startup-betting-ai-services-are-the-future-of-enterprise/) Can a handful of engineers really do the work of an army of consultants? That’s the bet behind Ode with Anthropic — the joint venture dedicated to embedding forward\-deployed engineers in enterprise firms, backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs and others\. On this episode of TechCrunch’s[Equity](https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/)podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Ode’s leaders[Chris Taylor](https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylorcd/)and[Eddie Siegel,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddiesiegel/)who founded Fractional AI, the applied AI services startup that Ode[acquired earlier this year](https://www.blackstone.com/news/press/the-ai-native-enterprise-services-firm-backed-by-anthropic-blackstone-and-hellman-friedman-announces-acquisition-of-fractional-ai/)to serve as the new venture’s core\. The three discuss why so many enterprise AI pilots never make it to production and why they think AI\-native services are about to become one of the biggest categories in tech\.
