Claude
FreemiumLong-context AI assistant for writing, analysis and code
What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, best known for long-context document analysis, careful writing and coding. A large context window lets it work with long reports, transcripts and codebases without losing the thread.
Compared with ChatGPT, it is often preferred for nuanced writing and multi-file coding; compared with Gemini, for its writing quality and reasoning. Artifacts render drafts side-by-side, and Projects keep a set of conversations and files organized.
Key features
- Long context window for large documents and codebases
- Artifacts for drafting documents and code side-by-side

- Strong coding and tool-use across editors and the terminal
