Claude
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, strong at reading comprehension and working with long documents. You use Claude in three ways: in chat for daily knowledge and writing work, as Claude Code for development, and as Claude Cowork — an AI agent that autonomously executes tasks on your computer.
What you can do with Claude
Four things you benefit from immediately — in plain language.
Claude in chat & Projects
Daily knowledge and writing work: asking questions, summarising and drafting texts — with your own documents as memory.
Understands long documents
Read, summarise and analyse contracts, reports and policy documents in one go, with nuanced answers.
Claude Code — for development
Runs in the terminal and gives Claude access to your codebase: build, migrate and review faster, human stays in control.
Claude Cowork — agent for knowledge work
A desktop AI agent that autonomously executes multi-step tasks on your files and apps — delivering a finished result.
What you use it for
In chat (and in Projects, where you store your own documents) Claude reads, summarises and analyses long texts in one go: contracts, reports and policy documents. You ask questions about your own knowledge and get reliable, nuanced answers — and Claude helps with writing and rewriting, from email to proposal.
Claude Code is the variant for technical teams. It runs in the terminal and gives Claude access to read your codebase, write files and execute commands. This lets you build, migrate and review software much faster — with a human checking every change.
Claude Cowork brings that same capability to knowledge work, without the terminal. It is a desktop AI agent that executes multi-step tasks from start to finish: summarising research, drafting documents, organising files. You grant Claude access to specific folders and tools (such as Google Drive and Gmail), and you get a finished result rather than just an explanation.
How UnifyAI uses this
We use Claude as the "thinking layer" in agents and workflows: for analysis, summarisation and Q&A over your own documents. For sensitive data we decide together what is processed where, with EU-aware choices and human oversight.
For technical projects we build with Claude Code — prototypes, migrations and reviews — always with a human checking the outcome before it goes live. And we help SME teams get started with Claude in chat and Cowork, so you can use it yourself in your daily work.
Recommended workflows
- Long document → summary + key points + open questions
- Q&A over your own manuals and procedures (Projects)
- Claude Cowork: research from multiple sources → finished draft document
- Claude Code: from idea to working prototype, with code review
