“There's a source for that. Let me find it.”

Summary

Works with

Lund Studio products only. Zandile 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 Zandile stops

  • Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
  • Never gives tax, legal or investment advice. Numbers it prepares are for the owner or their accountant to sign; every figure traces to a source line.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
