About Claude
Claude built its reputation on two things: handling very long documents without losing the plot, and writing that sounds like a person rather than a press release. Developers rate it among the best coding models available, and Projects with shared knowledge make it a genuine team tool. The free tier is capable; Pro and Max raise limits for heavy users.
