AI assistant specialising in long documents and careful reasoning
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, known for a very large context window and a restrained, precise reasoning style. It is built for work where a long document has to stay coherent - reading an entire book, reviewing a contract, understanding a codebase or producing a consistent report. Responses tend to follow instructions and formatting requirements tightly, which makes Claude easier to automate than chattier alternatives. With Artifacts it can render code, documents and simple web pages in a live preview pane, and Projects let teams keep a persistent knowledge base per body of work.
