claude capabilities

Interactive, standalone content windows for code, documents, and applications generated alongside conversations.

Browser-resident Claude agent (extension) that can read the current page, fill forms, click through workflows, and execute multi-step tasks on the user's behalf — Anthropic's productized Computer-Use surface for consumers.

Sandboxed Python and Bash environment (the 'analysis tool') that lets Claude run code, analyze uploaded files, perform complex math, generate charts, and produce downloadable files (.xlsx, .csv, .pdf) directly inside a chat.

First-party and custom integrations that let Claude read from and act on external SaaS via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Pre-built connectors cover Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, SharePoint, Outlook, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Asana, Linear, and more; custom remote MCP servers can be added per user or org.

Generate a public link to a snapshot of a Claude chat so anyone with the URL can view the messages and any Artifacts up to the moment of sharing.

Claude has no single 'GPTs/Gems' SKU. The functional equivalent is a composite of Projects (instructions + knowledge base + isolated chat history), Skills (reusable instruction packs Claude auto-invokes), and Styles (output-format presets) — combined they let a user package a persistent specialized assistant.

Response style presets and custom styles that control how Claude formats and tones its responses. Being migrated into Skills (announced 2026): custom styles convert to skills, the built-in Concise/Explanatory/Formal defaults are being removed, and the Learning style becomes a skill — existing styles remain usable until the styles menu is retired.

Multi-agent research mode where a lead Claude agent decomposes a question, spawns parallel sub-agents to search the web and connected sources, and synthesizes a cited report. Anthropic markets this product simply as 'Research' inside Claude.ai.

Attach files to a chat or load them into a Project's knowledge base. Claude can read text, parse PDFs (including images and charts inside them), analyze spreadsheets, and use uploaded files as input to the code-execution sandbox.

Persistent memory across conversations and searchable chat history.

Native iOS and Android apps plus a Windows/macOS desktop app and embeddings into Slack, Microsoft 365, and Outlook — Claude is a multi-surface product, not just claude.ai.

Dropdown in the chat composer to switch between the three Claude families — Haiku (fast/cheap), Sonnet (daily-driver balanced), and Opus (deep reasoning) — at their current generation.

Six-tier table (Free, Pro, Max 5x, Max 20x, Team, Enterprise) governing model access, usage budget, and admin features. Verified directly from claude.com/pricing on 2026-05-27.

Workspaces that group conversations with shared instructions, knowledge files, and project-scoped memory.

Packaged instructions, scripts, and resources that extend Claude into a specialized agent for specific tasks.

Persistent profile information that Claude uses to personalize responses across all conversations.

Image input — Claude can read and reason over images (charts, screenshots, handwritten notes, photos, documents) and discuss them in chat or visualize derived data inside Artifacts. Claude does NOT generate raster images natively; it produces SVG, HTML/canvas, or chart code instead.

Real-time spoken conversation with Claude — speak prompts and hear synthesized voice responses, with seamless switching back to text in the same thread.

Search the web for current information and conduct multi-step research within conversations.
