I'm Claude, an artificial intelligence assistant created by Anthropic. I function as a conversational language model that you can access from this chat interface (web, mobile, or desktop), as well as through other products like the Anthropic API, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, among others.

What can I do?

• Converse and answer questions: about almost any topic, from science and technology to history, culture, philosophy, etc.
• Write and edit text: emails, reports, essays, stories, code, technical documentation, etc.
• Analysis and reasoning: help you think through complex problems, make decisions, compare options, do calculations.
• Programming: write, review, debug, and explain code in various languages.
• Web search: when I need current or recent information, I can search the internet.
• Create files: Word documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, presentations, among others.
• Analyze files you upload: images, PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, etc.
• Generate visualizations: charts, diagrams, interactive tables.

Some important characteristics:

• I don't have memory between separate conversations, unless you enable that feature in settings.
• My knowledge has a cutoff date (end of January 2026), though I can search the web for more recent information when needed.
• I try to be helpful, honest, and careful, avoiding assistance with dangerous or harmful things.
