Claude

Claude is a conversational AI assistant developed by Anthropic, built on the Claude 3.5 architecture. Since its launch in November 2022, it has grown into one of the world's most widely used AI tools, with over 100 million active users across virtually every industry and profession — from students and writers to software engineers, researchers, and Fortune 500 executives.

At its core, Claude enables natural, back-and-forth conversation with an AI that can understand context, remember what was said earlier in a conversation, and generate highly relevant, nuanced responses. It excels at a remarkable range of tasks: writing and editing long-form content, summarising complex documents, explaining difficult concepts in plain language, generating and debugging code in 30+ programming languages, conducting deep research, brainstorming ideas, and answering questions on virtually any topic.

What sets Claude apart from earlier AI tools is the quality of its reasoning and its commitment to honesty. Claude 3.5 Sonnet can interpret uploaded images and documents, browse the internet for real-time information, execute Python code directly in the chat, and handle conversations up to 200,000 tokens — enough to analyse an entire book or large codebase in one session.

The free plan gives users access to Claude Haiku and limited Claude 3.5 Sonnet interactions — enough for casual users. The Pro plan at $20/month unlocks unlimited Sonnet access, priority during peak hours, and early access to new features. For teams and enterprises, Anthropic offers higher usage caps, admin controls, and guaranteed data privacy.

Claude is available on web, iOS, and Android with seamless sync across all devices. It supports 100+ languages, has a growing API ecosystem used by developers worldwide, and continues to be updated with new capabilities — cementing its position as one of the most important AI tools of the current era.
