Claude
The AI that writes and codes like it actually understands the brief.
Overview
Claude is Anthropic's flagship AI, positioned as the more careful, does-what-you-actually-meant alternative to ChatGPT. It's particularly well regarded for long documents, nuanced writing, and software development, aided by a large context window and the Artifacts feature for live-editable outputs. It plugs into Chrome, Slack, and Microsoft 365, and Claude Code has a loyal following among developers.

Extended Thinking: A dedicated deep-reasoning mode for harder problems.

What Makes It Unique
