Anthropic is the AI company that makes Claude. Claude is sold as an AI assistant on individual, team and enterprise plans, and as the Claude API that developers build on.
In the Claude apps, Projects keep the context, instructions and files for a piece of work together, and memory carries context over from past conversations. Claude can search the web for current information and repeat work on a schedule you set. Artifacts are things Claude makes for you to show others, such as documents, code snippets, single-page websites, dashboards and small interactive tools, and they open beside the chat. New artifacts stay private until you share them.
Claude’s product pages show use cases for sales, marketing, legal, finance, product and human resources teams, as well as for everyday users. You can use Claude on the web, in desktop apps for macOS and Windows, and on iOS and Android. It also works inside Chrome and inside the Microsoft 365 apps. Anthropic says all current models handle text and image input, vision, multilingual tasks and tool use.
Connectors hook Claude up to the apps you work in, with interactive MCP apps among them. Besides the Claude API, Claude models are offered through Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud’s Agent Platform and Microsoft Foundry. The Agent SDK gives Python and TypeScript developers the tools, agent loop and context management behind Claude Code. Support runs through a Help Center messenger, where Fin, an AI support agent, answers questions, and Pro and Max users and Team and Enterprise owners can get further help from the Product Support team.
Anyone can try Claude for free, within usage limits. Pro and Max raise those limits and include Claude Code, Team adds shared seats for groups, and Enterprise combines a per-seat fee with usage billed at API rates.
The API is priced per token, with separate input and output rates for each model, and most current models include the full long-context window at standard pricing. Batch processing and prompt caching lower costs for large or repeated workloads. Current prices are in the pricing box above.
