The Claude logo and name on a pale orange background.

What is Claude?

Claude is an artificial intelligence assistant built by Anthropic, similar to ChatGPT.

It can:

  • answer questions and explain topics;
  • write, correct and translate text;
  • analyse documents and images;
  • write code and help find errors;
  • summarise a large amount of information.

Claude is built above all for working with long texts, communicating clearly and answering safely. You can use it through the web application, the mobile application, or connect it to other systems through the API.

Once you know what Claude is, the other guides explain its separate parts: the Cowork working mode, the connected systems of Connectors, the learned processes of Skills, the automatic tasks of Scheduled, and the Artifacts built in a window of their own.
