Claude is an AI assistant from Anthropic that helps people and teams get work done through conversation, coding, delegated tasks, and collaboration. Available on desktop, web, and mobile, Claude is built on a family of frontier models (Claude Mythos, Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku) that range from the most capable to the most cost-effective, so teams can match intelligence to the task.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Chat: Collaborate with Claude on writing, analysis, research, and problem solving, with file uploads, projects that keep context across conversations, memory, web search, and artifacts for real-time documents and code.
- Code: Build software with Claude Code, a coding agent that plans, writes, edits, tests, and debugs across large codebases, available in the terminal, desktop app, web, and mobile, with native GitHub and IDE integrations.
- Cowork: Delegate multi-step tasks to Claude in plain language. Claude works across local files, connected apps, and the desktop, and returns finished documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and organized folders. An open plugin system bundles skills, data connectors, and workflows.
- Tag: Bring Claude into Slack and other team tools. Tag Claude into any channel or thread and it drafts, analyzes, and answers in context, using shared documents and channel memory.
- Specialized products: Claude Security (vulnerability detection and patch suggestions for security teams), Claude Design (designs, prototypes, and presentations from natural language), and Claude Science (an AI workbench for scientific research).
- Connectors and extended context: Connect Claude to the tools and data teams already use, including the Model Context Protocol, and analyze large documents and codebases with long context and extended thinking.
- Enterprise-grade security: Claude Enterprise includes Single Sign-On (SSO), role-based permissions, audit logs, and custom data retention controls.
