What is the main difference between Linkence and Claude Enterprise?

Linkence is a governed work AI layer built on permission-aware retrieval across your enterprise tools, with approval-gated actions and complete audit logs. Claude is a model-first offering, with work capabilities layered on through federated MCP connectors. Both support AI-driven task execution, but Linkence adds a consistently governed, permission-aware context layer across the organization.

Can I use Anthropic's Claude models with Linkence?

Yes. Linkence is model-agnostic. Through its model layer you can use Claude alongside OpenAI, Gemini and others, all grounded in Linkence's permission-aware retrieval and approval-gated actions.

How do governance and permissions differ in regulated environments?

Linkence enforces source-system permissions at retrieval time, isolates each tenant, and records complete audit logs across queries and actions. Local desktop agents can fall outside centralized audit logs and run with broader machine access, which makes consistent governance harder in regulated or security-sensitive environments.

Why is Linkence more effective than a model alone?

Foundation models are powerful reasoning engines but not enterprise context systems. Linkence provides a governed context layer that understands your permissions, content, and workflows across all your apps, improving answer quality while keeping every action accountable.
