Overview

Anthropic's AI assistant known for long-context reasoning and helpful, harmless responses.

Read detailed overview
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant available through a web chat interface, desktop apps, mobile apps, and the Claude API. It supports conversational work, document analysis, writing, coding, summarization, Q&A, and multi-step productivity tasks. From an expert-review perspective, Claude is notable for its emphasis on steerable conversation, long-context workflows, and enterprise deployment options. Current Claude models support text and image input, text output, multilingual use, and vision capabilities, with availability through Anthropic's API and major cloud platforms. Claude is well-suited for individuals, teams, developers, and organizations that need an assistant for knowledge work, software development, research, and document-heavy tasks. Enterprise plans add administrative, compliance, connector, audit, and usage-management features for larger organizations. Important considerations include usage limits on consumer plans, separate API pricing for developers, regional availability requirements, and feature differences across Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, API, and cloud-provider deployments.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about Claude. Search below to find a specific question.

No matching questions.

Is Claude free to use?
Yes. Anthropic offers a free tier at claude.ai with daily message limits on Claude Sonnet. The Claude Pro plan costs $20/month and provides roughly 5× more usage, priority access during high traffic, and early access to new features like extended thinking.
How does Claude compare to ChatGPT?
Claude is known for strong reasoning on long documents, careful analysis, and a helpful tone. Its 200K context window lets you upload entire codebases or research papers. ChatGPT offers broader multimodal features (image generation, custom GPTs, voice mode). Developers often choose Claude for code review and writing; ChatGPT for all-in-one creative workflows.
Does Claude have an API?
Yes. The Anthropic API provides access to Claude Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku models with pay-per-token pricing. The API supports vision, tool use, prompt caching, and batch processing. It is separate from the Claude Pro subscription and is widely used in production applications.
Is my data used to train Claude?
Anthropic does not use consumer Claude conversations to train models by default. Claude Team and Enterprise plans include contractual guarantees that your data is not used for training. API inputs are also excluded from training unless you opt in. Anthropic publishes detailed data usage policies for each product tier.
What programming languages does Claude support?
Claude supports virtually all major programming languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, and SQL. It excels at reading large codebases thanks to its 200K context window and can generate, debug, refactor, and explain code across multiple files in a single conversation.
