Google, Amazon-backed Anthropic launches first chatbot app for iOS

AI Company Anthropic, backed by tech giants like Google and Amazon, has announced the launch of the Claude iOS app. The new app is already listed on Apple App Store and is free to use for individual users. The app gets some features similar to other rival AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Bing AI and Google Gemini. The Android version of the app is currently in development.

The chatbot has a knowledge cut-off until August 2023. This means it will limit its responses to queries requiring updated information. However, it comes with some multi-modal features that help it provide inputs based on visual data such as graphs.

Features of Claude iOS app -

· Syncing: The app allows users to continue their conversations across devices without interruption

· Vision capabilities: Users can utilize their phone's camera or upload files to engage in real-time image analysis and gain contextual understanding

· Universal accessibility: The Claude app is free for all users, regardless of their subscription plan

Alongside the app, Anthropic introduced a new subscription model—the Team Plan. The plan is priced at $30 per user per month and is designed for professional use. It essentially enables teams to create a workspace with increased usage for members and tools for managing users and billing.

Anthropic also hinted at future updates that will introduce new collaboration features, further enhancing the utility of Claude in professional settings.
