The announcement comes a day after Anthropic filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its designation as a supply chain risk and its removal from government systems.
The new feature, called Agent Designer, will operate through the Department of War's enterprise artificial intelligence portal and allow more than three million civilian and military personnel to build custom digital assistants for administrative work. Using no-code or low-code workflows, staff can create tools to draft meeting notes, generate action items, and break down complex projects into structured plans. Initially, these systems will function on unclassified networks, with discussions underway about expanding access to classified environments.
Anthropic's lawsuit follows its blacklisting after it declined to permit the use of its technology for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance. The Department of War has since added other artificial intelligence providers to restricted networks while deepening its collaboration with Google, signaling a shift in its enterprise artificial intelligence partnerships.
