What is Claude?

Claude is Anthropic's family of large language models and conversational assistant, designed with a focus on being helpful, harmless, and honest. It is known for strong long-form reasoning, careful instruction-following, and large context windows that allow it to work with entire codebases or lengthy documents at once. Projects let users organize conversations around persistent context, such as a codebase or a set of reference documents, so Claude can stay consistent across many related tasks. Artifacts create a side-by-side workspace for iterating on code, documents, and diagrams generated during a conversation. Claude is available directly via claude.ai, as an API for developers building on top of the model, and integrated into products like Claude Code for agentic software development tasks.

Our team evaluated a few options before settling on Claude. Artifacts make iterative work easier to manage. One minor gripe: fewer third-party plugin integrations than some competitors, but it hasn't been a dealbreaker. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
