AI Platforms & Tools
What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, known for superior writing quality, nuanced understanding, and strong ethical guardrails. With the largest context window among major AI assistants, Claude excels at producing content that sounds human, not robotic.
Understanding Claude
Claude is developed by Anthropic, an AI safety company founded by former OpenAI researchers. The name comes from Claude Shannon, the father of information theory. What sets Claude apart is its focus on being helpful, harmless, and honest—with strong emphasis on producing nuanced, human-quality writing.
For real estate professionals, Claude's writing quality is its killer feature. While ChatGPT often produces obviously AI-generated content, Claude's outputs tend to sound more natural, varied, and emotionally appropriate. This matters when your listing description or client email needs to connect with humans, not just convey information.
Claude's 200,000 token context window is the largest among major AI assistants. This means you can feed it entire documents, long conversation histories, or complex multi-part requests without it losing track of context—essential for maintaining consistent voice across multiple outputs.
