Most people are probably familiar with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Copilot, and even Google's Gemini, but these aren't the only AI chatbots in town. Claude, developed by artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, is another chatbot capable of advanced features. Anthropic updated Claude to version 3.5 in June 2024.
This latest version can process up to 200,000 words at once, a useful feat if you need help digesting a transcript, report, or other lengthy piece of text. You can upload a variety of files to Claude, and it will summarize them or answer questions about specific data points. Claude can also analyze webpages and other files; simply copy and paste the content.

Claude is trained on the latest real-time data, so it can answer questions about current events and topics. Beyond its website and iPhone app, the AI chatbot is accessible as an app for Slack, where it can answer questions and create content for you and your fellow Slack workspace users. The new version is also meant to provide more detailed answers, fewer harmful responses, better code, and overall faster performance than its predecessor.
Claude 3.5 is available for free on Claude's website, in the iOS app, and via the Pro and Team versions of the subscription product.
