Claude and All Its Features

Anthropic's Claude is built around a strong safety framework and deep support for long-context, agentic, and coding workflows.

Long context window

Can hold very large documents, codebases, or conversation histories in a single session.

Artifacts

Generates interactive content — code, documents, diagrams — in a dedicated, editable side panel.

Projects

Groups conversations and reference material together for consistent, ongoing work.

Agentic coding

Tools like Claude Code let Claude plan, write, and execute multi-step coding tasks directly in a project.

Computer use

Can operate a computer interface directly — clicking, typing, and navigating software on your behalf.

Safety focus

Trained with a 'Constitutional AI' approach emphasizing helpfulness balanced with harmlessness.

What is 'Constitutional AI'?

A training approach where the model is guided by a written set of principles ('a constitution') to critique and improve its own responses, rather than relying solely on human feedback for every judgment call.

Key takeaways

  • Claude emphasizes long context, Artifacts for interactive content, and Projects for organized ongoing work.
  • Claude Code and computer-use capabilities support genuinely agentic, multi-step task execution.
  • Claude is built around a Constitutional AI safety approach that balances helpfulness with harmlessness.
