What Is Claude AI and When Should You Use It Over ChatGPT?

Former OpenAI researchers founded Anthropic. Anthropic makes Claude, their attempt at an AI that’s more careful - and more aligned with human values. Unlike ChatGPT, Claude is more measured - it’s rarely over-enthusiastic.

Claude is great at handling massive inputs. Claude can process hundreds of pages at once - something GPT struggles with. It’s the perfect choice for reviewing contracts, analyzing research papers, or summarizing reports - especially compared with GPT.

Claude also tends to be more honest about its limitations. It usually won’t give you a confidently incorrect answer it’s made up - it's more likely to say "I'm not sure" or explain the nuances of a complex topic.

Where Claude Really Shines

Claude excels when tone and context matter. If you need a sensitive HR communication, a tactful response to customer complaints - or anything with a careful, professional tone, use Claude.

If you need a great summary that keeps important nuances, Claude can do it. Give it a 50-page policy document, and it'll give you a thoughtful summary that doesn't miss key details.
