About Claude
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, built around Constitutional AI — an ethical framework baked directly into the model's training. As of 2026, Claude has evolved from a chat assistant into a full platform spanning general-purpose AI (Claude), coding (Claude Code), collaborative workspaces (Claude Cowork), and design (Claude Design). It is widely used by writers, developers, and analysts who prioritize nuanced, natural output and complex reasoning.
