Claude is a conversational AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed with a strong focus on safety, transparency, and helpfulness. Named after Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, this AI is built on Anthropic’s proprietary Constitutional AI framework, which emphasizes alignment with human intentions and ethical guidelines. Claude excels at performing thoughtful, natural conversations, multi-step reasoning, summarization, content generation, and file analysis.
One of Claude’s standout features is its large context window, which allows it to process over 200,000 tokens—making it capable of reading and responding to very long documents or conversations. It can handle formats like PDFs, code files, or long form articles with ease, making it especially useful for researchers, analysts, and professionals.
Accessible via API and platforms like Slack, Claude is popular for business use cases like brainstorming, email drafting, document reviewing, and technical support. Its responses are often more cautious, context-aware, and collaborative than other chatbots. Claude avoids hallucinating or offering misinformation by design, focusing on helpfulness and humility. With a growing user base and continued updates, Claude is becoming one of the most trusted AI assistants for teams and individuals looking for a safe, intelligent conversational partner.
