Moterra AI Bridge is the governance and integration layer that turns Claude Cowork into a governed, company-wide AI system. Understanding the two layers helps you make sense of what you're working with.
The two layers
Claude Cowork is Anthropic's product — Claude Desktop with enterprise capabilities built in. It gives individual users access to Claude's reasoning, file handling, and connected tools.
Moterra AI Bridge is what your organisation has deployed on top of it. Bridge adds the admin console, MDM distribution, skills, knowledge bases, cost controls, audit logs, and business system integrations. The whole stack — Cowork and Bridge — runs inside your organisation's own cloud account (AWS or Azure), so your data and prompts never leave your environment.
What Bridge delivers to you as a user
When you open Claude Desktop with Bridge active, Claude automatically has access to everything your admin has configured:
Skills — sets of instructions that guide Claude on how to handle recurring tasks in your organisation's way
Connected business tools — integrations your admin has set up, such as SharePoint, Linear, Notion, Google Drive, or your CRM
Knowledge bases — your organisation's internal documents, policies, and reference material that Claude can search and cite, with access scoped to what you are actually permitted to see
None of this requires you to configure anything manually. Everything is provisioned through Bridge and delivered to your Claude Desktop session automatically.
What you can do with it
The Bridge-extended Claude is suited to knowledge work that benefits from both Claude's reasoning and your organisation's internal context. Common uses include:
Asking questions about internal policies or documents and getting answers with source references
Using purpose-built skills for specific workflows — sales research, procurement document generation, CRM updates
Running Dify workflows directly from a chat conversation
Generating, editing, or summarising documents using connected tools
What you need to get started
To use Bridge-extended Claude, you need:
A Moterra account — provisioned by your administrator
Claude Desktop installed on your computer — typically deployed to your device via your organisation's MDM
Once your device is set up, open Claude Desktop and you are ready to go. No additional login or manual configuration is required on your end.
