Claude is an AI chatbot developed by Anthropic, offering conversational AI capabilities with multiple model tiers (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) and specialized products including Claude Code for software deve
Strong long-context handling lets Claude work through lengthy documents, codebases, and multi-turn conversations while staying coherent and on-topic.
The tiered Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models give buyers a clear way to trade off intelligence, speed, and cost rather than paying for one fixed capability level.
Claude Code turns the model into a capable agentic coding assistant that can navigate and edit real repositories from the terminal, not just answer isolated questions.
Native integrations with Slack, Chrome, and Microsoft 365 plus a developer API make it practical to embed Claude into existing workflows and products.
Because chat
Claude Code, and other surfaces draw from a shared usage budget, costs can be hard to predict and heavy users may hit limits faster than expected.
Max-tier pricing climbs steeply, and serious API or agent usage can accumulate token costs that require active monitoring to control.
