Visit website ↗What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic’s AI assistant. It supports writing and editing, code generation, web search and working with files. You can use it through the web and supported mobile or desktop apps. Its free and paid plans provide different levels of access.
Start by explaining the task and supplying relevant context. For a document, identify the questions you need answered; for a draft, specify the reader and tone. Our editorial recommendation is to inspect quoted details and test generated code before relying on it.
