“What can you actually do as a Claude Partner?”
I am running alongside my AISHA CAFE teammates, working toward becoming an official Claude Partner — but honestly, I still don’t know the answer to that question. I don’t think anyone in the world can answer it properly yet.
But today, I was able to do one thing.
There was a survey for partners at every tier, and I had the opportunity to answer it.
“One thing that would make an Anthropic partner event worth the trip for your firm.”
Our team’s tier is “Registered” — we are not yet official partners. But the fact that I could write my thoughts and send them to be read — that itself feels like something I could only do because we have been working toward becoming a Claude Partner.
So I wrote my wish, and sent it to Anthropic.

I once had an experience that still stays with me today.
A Google DeepMind engineer came all the way to Osaka, Japan, and spoke directly to us — to Japanese engineers and builders — about what he believed in. He told us that AI can solve someone’s problems. That moment changed how I see my own work.
Now I want to hear the same kind of words from Anthropic.
Not a press release. Not a website. Your words — the words of the people who are actually building Claude, who are thinking about what this technology means for the world.
I want to know:
why are you building Claude?
What kind of world are you trying to create?
I believe AI should make the world more peaceful.
I want it to help end hunger.
I want it to be a force that slows down — not accelerates — the chaos that unchecked technology can bring.
I want AI that is safe, and I want the people building it to share that desire from the heart.
I work at the intersection of AI and e-commerce in Japan, and I carry these questions every day into my work with clients.
I know Anthropic has held events in Tokyo before.
But it doesn’t need to be a formal event.
Just one hour in Osaka — speaking directly to us — would mean more than any product announcement ever could. If you don’t yet have the network or connections to make that happen in Osaka, I would be more than happy to help organize it.
Thank you for everything you are building, and for building it carefully.
Finally — if Anthropic shares the same vision we do, then we want to be your partners.
That is why I am running alongside ten teammates, working toward becoming a Claude Partner.
If we can meet somewhere in Japan one day, that would mean everything to us.
Dario Amodei, and the engineers behind Claude —
please speak to us directly. Please come to Japan.
Not to announce a new product.
Just to tell us, in your own words: who are you building this for, and why?
I hope that kind of day comes every year.
