Description
Your versatile AI partner for in-depth thinking and document work. Claude excels at brainstorming, analyzing, drafting, and reasoning through complex ideas with speed and nuance. Built-in privacy protections and thoughtful design make it suitable for professional and personal use across extended conversations.
Claude would be useful for developing complex agentic workflows or supporting sophisticated research projects.
Two Claude license tiers are available, Standard and Premium. Both tiers have access to the same features and models, but the Premium tier has 5x more higher usage quota.
Features
Chat and Projects
Ask questions, draft and revise writing, and analyze documents in a conversation with Claude. Upload large files, such as reports, policies, transcripts, or spreadsheets, and ask Claude to summarize, compare, or pull out key details (see Requirements section for permitted data classification). Use Projects to keep related chats, files, and instructions together in one workspace that you can share with colleagues.
Claude Cowork
Cowork lets you assign Claude a task instead of just asking a question. Describe the result you want, such as “compare these five vendor proposals” or “build a status update from this week’s notes,” and Claude plans the steps, works through your files and connected apps, and delivers a finished document, spreadsheet, or presentation. No coding is required. Cowork asks for your permission before permanently deleting any files, and you choose how often Claude checks in with you before acting.
Skills
Skills are reusable sets of instructions that teach Claude how to do a specific kind of work well, such as creating a document in an approved template or following a team checklist. Claude automatically uses the right skill for your task.
Claude Code
Claude Code is an AI coding assistant for developers, researchers, and technical staff. Claude Code can read your project, write and edit code, run commands, fix bugs, and explain unfamiliar code. Use it from the command line, in the Claude desktop app, or in editors such as VS Code and JetBrains.
