What is Claude app?
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant on the web, desktop and mobile. A project keeps your instructions and reference files in one place, so every new chat starts with the same rules: paste or attach that run's material and review the result. Claude can also read uploaded files, create spreadsheets and documents, search the web and use connected apps.

What Claude app can do
Projects
Save instructions once in a project and add reference files to its knowledge. Every chat in the project follows them, and each project keeps its own memory.
Example: A project that checks each new client brief against your standard questions.
Files and file creation
Attach PDFs, documents, spreadsheets and images, up to 20 files per chat. With Code execution and file creation on, Claude can analyze data and create Excel, Word, PowerPoint and PDF files.
Example: Compare two report exports and return a reconciliation workbook.
Web search, connectors and skills
Claude can search the web and cite its sources, use the apps you connect under Customize, Connectors, and follow skills you upload under Customize, Skills.
Example: Check each venue's opening hours and link the page it came from.
Get started with Claude app
- Sign in at claude.ai, or open the Claude desktop or mobile app. Projects are available on every plan; free accounts can create up to five.
- Click Projects on the left, or go to claude.ai/projects, then click + New Project and name it after one job.
- Pick a recipe below and choose its settings. Click Set project instructions, paste the setup prompt and click Save instructions.
- Start a new chat in the project, run the recipe's fictional sample and compare the answer with the review checks.
- For each real run, start a new chat in the project and paste or attach that run's material. Keep the reference files every run needs in the project knowledge.
What to check before you trust it
- Test with the recipe's fictional sample before you add real material.
- Chats in a project do not share context unless the information is in the project knowledge, so keep the files every run needs there.
- Each project has its own memory. To keep one chat out of it, turn off Memory in the + menu before your first message.
- Remove personal details a task does not need before you paste or attach material.
- Check every result against your sources before you act on it; web search answers include citations you can open.
