Claude & Its specialized functional roles.

Written By Morten Storm

Claude is a series of large language models (LLMs) and a next-generation AI assistant developed by Anthropic. Designed to be safe, accurate, and secure, it functions as a "thinking partner" to help users with complex tasks such as writing, research, and coding.

Claude is categorized into specialized functional roles:

  • Claude Chat: Acts as "your brain" to think, brainstorm, and write.

  • Claude Cowork: Acts as "your hands" to autonomously handle complex, multi-step tasks like managing files or organizing receipts.

  • Claude Code: Functions as "a factory" to build, test, and fix code.

  • Claude Design: Serves as a "creative director" to generate decks or mockups.

Claude focuses on "context engineering," using a persistent knowledge base to provide informed, consistent advice rather than just one-off prompts.

It is available via web at claude.ai, mobile apps, and an API for developers
