Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is introducing its first smartphone app – an indication that the company is pushing more aggressively to make its Claude chatbot available to users no matter where they are.
San Francisco-based Anthropic said the new iPhone app is available for free and paid users of Claude starting May 1, and conversations will synchronise with those conducted via the web-based version of the chatbot. The app will also be able to analyse pictures – such as from photos users take – which enables the chatbot to perform tasks like image recognition. Think spotting a specific kind of finch at a bird feeder.
