Hand off work from Claude in one sentence

What the Colle connector does in Claude

The connector gives Claude a small set of tools for work that changes hands. You talk to Claude as usual; Claude uses the tools when you ask it to pass something on or to check what came in.

• Send a handoff to up to five colleagues at once, or to a team space where one member picks it up.
• Ask “what did I get?” and see the handoffs waiting for you, with who sent them and by when.
• Return a handoff with a reason, mark it done, or recall one you sent to the wrong person.
• Search the cases you can access, including files by their description.
• Record a fact on a case (a deadline, an amount, a decision) so the next person sees the current value and its history.

What it sounds like

Claude finds James Parker in your company, writes a summary of what he needs to know, records the next call date as a fact and attaches the notes. If two people share a name, Claude asks first: “Which Tom — Tom Jenkins (Sales) or Tom Walker (Legal)?”

Other things people say:

• “Ask Rachel to check the contract terms.”
• “Pass the draft to Rachel: price €12,400, sign by the 20th.”
• “Send this to Mark — he’ll know what to do with it.”

How to connect it

During the pilot we set Colle up with you on one call. In short: an administrator creates your company in Colle and invites people by email; each person then adds the Colle connector to their own Claude and signs in. On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, the organisation's Owner adds a connector for everyone and members connect with their own account.

Claude Share vs a Colle handoff

Claude's Share button creates a read-only snapshot of a chat up to the moment you share it. Later messages stay private, attached files are not included, and on Team and Enterprise plans only people in your organisation can open the link.

That is useful for showing someone a conversation. A handoff is for giving someone the work: a named recipient, the files, a deadline, and a status that shows whether they accepted it, returned it or finished it. The recipient does not even need Claude: they can continue in ChatGPT.

Security in short

Your data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt), every company's data is isolated on every query, and a handoff sent to a person is seen only by the sender and the recipient. Claude (Anthropic) is not Colle's sub-processor: Anthropic processes your conversation under your own agreement with them. More on the security page.
