Anthropic's generalist assistant (claude.ai): a calm conversation to write, summarize, translate, analyze documents and think out loud. From the free version, it searches the web, creates real files (documents, spreadsheets, presentations), remembers the thread of your topics and produces Artifacts — interactive documents and small tools born in the conversation.

How it works

Trigger: You write your request as you would to a competent colleague — writes, summarizes, translates, analyzes your documents and creates files, and you get clean text, a faithful summary, a spreadsheet or a presentation, ready to proofread.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Create a free account on claude.ai or in the Claude app.
  2. Start with a real text: an email to rephrase, a document to summarize.
  3. Upload your documents (PDF, spreadsheets) to have them analyzed or turned into a clean file.
  4. Upgrade to Pro ($20/month) only if the free limits regularly cut you off.
⚠️ Guardrails: Usage limits exist on every plan, even paid ones: a big document or a long session consumes them fast. For your sensitive content, check the training settings and never paste data you wouldn't share with an online service.

Its particular angle

Like every general-purpose assistant, it can chat, write, summarize, translate and help with code. What sets it apart: the writing quality and the calm reasoning, with long documents analyzed without losing the thread.
