Watch forDelphi uses more words than needed. Say 'just the result' when you're in a hurry.

Give Delphi a job like this: “Delphi, find and compare five suppliers for a custom water bottle at 1,000 units on landed cost.”

Works with

Lund Studio products only. Delphi works in Claude; these are the studio's own tools and cards it is built to use.

Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Delphi stops

  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
