What is Claude?

- Long context — drop in entire reports, contracts, or codebases.
- Projects — persistent workspaces with shared context and knowledge.
- Artifacts — render code, docs, and apps side-by-side with the chat.
Pricing
Claude is free with daily limits. Claude Pro ($20/mo) raises limits substantially and unlocks the latest models — the right choice for daily knowledge work.
