Claude
Claude is an AI assistant built by Anthropic to help users with work. It is available on web, Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, through an API and as an extension. Claude can search the web, accept file uploads, create and edit spreadsheets, presentations, Word documents and PDFs, and analyze data using code execution. It can also create and share documents, dashboards, diagrams and interactive tools as artifacts; artifact storage is limited to 20 MB and text only. Connectors can link Claude with services including Asana, Linear, Notion, PayPal, Square, Plaid, Intercom, Zapier and Workato. Research, available on paid plans, runs multiple searches and returns answers with citations. Usage limits reset on a rolling five-hour window, and paid plans have additional weekly limits; usage also varies by conversation length, model and features. The Free plan includes limited usage and up to five projects. Pro costs $20 a month or $17 a year, billed $200 up front. Team plans add central billing and administration; Enterprise includes further access controls.
