Read the full Claude review

Claude by Anthropic is the assistant most professional writers and engineers reach for when quality matters more than novelty. Its long context window handles book-length documents in a single prompt, its Artifacts panel makes iterating on drafts and code feel like collaborating, and its reasoning tends to be more cautious than ChatGPT. Claude Projects let you set persistent instructions and reference files across a whole workstream. It is not the fastest to add flashy features, but its outputs are consistently thoughtful, and Anthropic's safety focus makes it a common enterprise choice.
