How To Use Claude 3 To Automate Your Low-Code AI Workflows

Let’s jump in the hype and talk about Claude 3, the latest breakthrough in AI technology from Anthropic! With Claude, you have a reliable companion for work that prioritizes safety, accuracy, and security.

Claude is a neat chatbot that can handle a wide range of tasks, from processing data and brainstorming ideas to generating text and simplifying tasks. Plus, it's always evolving to meet your needs.

In this guide, we'll dive into its new features, show you how to pair it with BuildShip, and explain why it's a step ahead of the competition like GPT-4 and Gemini. If you prefer a video tutorial, we have one here. 

Claude vs Gemini vs GPT-4

Navigating the realm of AI assistants can feel like venturing into uncharted territory, with each tool promising to revolutionize your daily tasks. But amidst the sea of options, how does Claude compare against popular counterparts Gemini and GPT-4? 

According to feedback from Reddit users and others, Claude has emerged as a powerful tool for various tasks, including web content creation, coding, and personal assistance.

One user, who previously relied heavily on ChatGPT for their job as a legal content writer, shared their experience switching to Claude. They found that Claude excelled in several areas, including:

1. Longer response lengths, allowing for faster work.

2. Fewer limitations or instances of declining requests.

3. More natural language generation, avoiding overly flowery or AI-detectable patterns.

4. Fewer unnecessary bulleted lists.

5. Faster response times.

Even Claude's free model outperformed their custom GPT model for website content purposes and speed, according to the user.

Another user with a coding background praised Claude's performance in coding tasks, template generation, troubleshooting, and explaining cloud services. They found that Claude consistently outperformed GPT-4 in these areas, providing longer responses and generating code with fewer errors. Unless OpenAI releases an improved version of GPT-4 or makes the GPT-4 Turbo model available, this user plans to discontinue their subscription.

A third user, who works on various tasks such as SEO, info product development, coding, sales copy, and personal assistance, reported using ChatGPT less and less, as Claude outperforms it "by a longshot" for their use cases. They provided an example of how Claude streamlined their SEO pitching process, cutting the time required by 75%.

While experiences may vary, these user accounts highlight Claude's strengths in areas like content creation, coding, and task efficiency, potentially making it a viable alternative or complementary tool to other language models like GPT-4 and Gemini.  The below image is a comparison by Anthropic between Claude's different models with GPT and Gemini AI.

Using Claude 3 With No-Code To Automate Your Tasks

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, new tools and software emerge at a breakneck pace. Keeping up with the constant need for integrations can be a daunting task for developers and businesses alike. BuildShip, a low-code visual backend builder, lets you take matter in your own hands.

Whether it's the recently launched Claude 3 or any other cutting-edge tool that hit the market mere hours ago, BuildShip allows you to build out the integration yourself with ease, using their AI node generator. No more waiting for official integrations – take control and automate your tasks easily.

But that's not all – BuildShip's node library already boasts dedicated nodes for hundreds of tools, including Claude. In this article, we'll explore both approaches: setting up an integration with Claude by using AI to generate the nodes, as well as exploring the pre-built Claude nodes available in the node library.

Integrating Claude 3 Into Your Workflows Using AI

Step 1: Sign up for BuildShip

For starters, let’s try creating the Claude node using the AI node generator in BuildShip. To do that, first let’s sign up for BuildShip and create a new workflow.

Step 2: Add a trigger node

Next, add a trigger REST API node to trigger your workflow with the proper /path.

Step 3: Generating with AI

Now, to generate a Claude 3 node, let’s click on add node and then “Generate”.

Here we have a UI that helps you create any node using just plain English. For our example, let’s do: Given a system prompt, user prompt and api key, I want to generate text using Claude 3 and return the generated text. You can also add additional context like example code snippets so that the response of the node is more accurate. For this example we’ll add a code snippet from the prompt library of Anthropic.

After that you can click on “Generate with AI” button and it will create a custom node just for you showcasing the power of how you can integrate with any API or tool in mere minutes.

Step 4: View code if required

Now, you can view the generated node and input the API key, System Prompt, and User Prompt to generate a response. Additionally, you can click on the code to make any desired changes and ship the modifications as a node for your AI workflows.

Step 5: Adding API key

To add your API key, you can simply add it in the input or add a secret key that gets stored securely in a Google Cloud Secret Manager.

Step 6: Adding system prompt value

You can similarly input your system prompt. For this example, we’ll again be referring Anthropic’s documentation here.

Step 7: Adding user prompt value

For the user prompt, you have the option to hard code it or input it from the request body that you get from the API request.

Step 8: Returning the output response

Finally you can add a return node and pass in the value from the previous node here which is the AI generated Claude node we just created.

Step 9: Ship & Test

Once you've completed your workflow, you can ship it, which will generate an endpoint URL for you. Test out your workflow by inserting the user prompt in the Body tab as a message, and the result for your query will be displayed.

Meanwhile, you get an endpoint URL that you can ship as an API, chatbot or even use it as a CRON job that you can schedule every few days. You can also store the response in any database like Firebase, Supabase, etc.

Claude 3 Action Nodes in BuildShip

Now, that we’ve seen how to generate any node integration with AI, let’s explore the existing nodes BuildShip offers for the Claude integration.

BuildShip provides two Claude 3 action nodes: The Claude 3 AI text generator node and the Claude 3 Vision Node.

The Claude 3 AI text generator node uses Claude-3 to generate text based on given prompts and system context. On the other hand, the Claude 3 Vision Node utilizes Claude AI to answer questions related to an image and provides a response.

Below, you'll find a visual representation of the node structure for both nodes:

Simply plug these nodes into your workflow, and you'll be equipped to generate text or query images according to your specific needs.

Conclusion

We learned how to use BuildShip’s AI node generation feature to generate any node for Claude 3 integration. In the future, as Claude keeps developing new functionality, you can easily keep pace by using BuildShip to generate your Claude nodes. The low-code approach simplifies the development process, while the flexibility to modify generated code ensures full control over the integration.
