Overview

Claude, Anthropic's assistant, has earned a reputation for long-document work and writing quality: contracts, codebases and research dumps fit in its large context window, and its prose reads less templated than most rivals. Projects and Artifacts make iterative work — drafting, coding, analysis — feel like collaboration rather than prompting. It offers fewer consumer bells and whistles than ChatGPT, trading breadth for depth in reasoning-heavy tasks.
