## Summary

Anthropic has released Smart Reports, an analytics feature for Claude Enterprise that lets administrators analyze how employees use AI. Admins can select a team, a time window up to 28 days, specific products like Claude Chat or Claude Code, and custom questions. The system reviews a sample of transcripts, groups activity into workstreams, estimates list-price costs, and produces structured reports. The feature is off by default and must be enabled. Each organization gets up to 10 free reports per month.

Administrators can drill into individual workstreams and view session summaries ranked by cost, including date, product, and output type. A separate toggle controls identity disclosure: with it off, drilldowns show "User" and hide session IDs; with it on, names are hidden by default but can be revealed on demand, with every reveal logged. Certain sensitive categories — personal life, health, political or religious views, protected characteristics, union activity, harassment or whistleblower complaints, privileged legal content, and sentiment about a named person — receive only aggregate treatment and cannot be drilled into at the session level. Anthropic says these protections cannot be disabled and custom questions cannot target restricted topics, though the automated classification has no guaranteed detection rate and no failure-rate data has been published.

Smart Reports is not available in all countries where Anthropic operates, with regional limits likely reflecting varying privacy laws and workplace-monitoring regulations. Anthropic notes that product-level controls do not guarantee legal compliance; employers must still meet local obligations such as employee notice, consent, works-council consultation, and data minimization. Enterprise deployments sit inside a separate legal framework from consumer accounts, and organizations must evaluate deployment appropriateness independently.

## Key points

- Smart Reports analyzes Claude Enterprise transcripts, groups workstreams, estimates costs, up to 10 free reports monthly
- Admins can view session summaries with cost, date, product; identity toggle hides or reveals names with logged access
- Sensitive categories like health, union activity, legal content are aggregate-only; automated classification has no published failure rate

## Why it matters

Gives employers detailed visibility into employee AI use while attempting privacy safeguards, but legal compliance varies by jurisdiction and automated protections are unproven.
