Gusto for AI
Put Gusto to work in Claude.
Ask Claude anything about your team and get an answer from your actual Gusto records. Then hand it the work: the offer letter, the messy timesheet, the payroll that’s due Friday.

Frequently asked questions
Gusto’s official way to bring your live payroll and people data into Claude, so it can answer questions and take action using your real account instead of a generic guess.
No. If you can ask Claude a question, you can use it. (If you’re comfortable with a terminal or building agents for repeated workflows, the Gusto CLI is a separate option — see gusto.com/product/agents.)
Payroll submissions and other high-impact actions are designed to require a preview and your confirmation before they take effect. Claude’s job is to assemble the work and surface exceptions — approving payroll stays your decision.
Gus and Cofounder are Gusto’s own AI, inside Gusto. The Claude connector works the other way: it brings Gusto into the AI you already use, so you don’t have to come to us to get something done.
Yes, especially if you’re already asking Claude questions about your business.
