Claude
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant: strong in text, analysis, and code, and processes very long documents at once.
Claude is Anthropic's AI model and, alongside ChatGPT and Gemini, one of the three major assistants on the market. Claude's reputation precedes it: a particularly clean writing style and strong performance in programming. Many agencies and development teams therefore use Claude as a workhorse for text and code.
In everyday use, Claude handles classic tasks: drafting emails and proposals, summarizing contracts and studies, analyzing tables, and preparing presentations. One unique feature stands out: its large context window. You can upload hundreds of pages at once and ask questions about them without the model losing track.
Compared to ChatGPT, it lacks consumer features like image generation, but Claude usually delivers better results for long, complex texts and code. Gemini is more deeply integrated into the Google ecosystem, while Claude scores points with Claude Code in developer workflows.
For teams primarily looking to write, analyze, or program with AI, Claude is often the first choice. Those seeking an all-rounder with image and video generation capabilities will find ChatGPT a better fit.
