Anthropic Brings Claude AI App to Android - Decrypt
Anthropic has released its Claude mobile app for Android users, the company announced on Tuesday. The release of the generative AI tool on the Google Play Store comes two months after the launch of the Claude app for iOS in May.
According to Anthropic, Claude offers multi-platform support, enabling users to pick up and continue conversations across the web, iOS, and Android versions of the generative AI model. In addition to cross-compatibility, the Claude app includes vision capabilities, which Anthropic explained lets users take new pictures or upload files for real-time image analysis.
Political Use Restrictions
As Claude becomes even more widely available, its use by political candidates and campaigns was forbidden by Anthropic earlier this year.
Expansion of Generative AI Models
Claude’s Android app joins a growing number of generative AI models making their way onto smartphones. In December, top OpenAI investor Microsoft launched a standalone version of its Copilot AI for Android and iOS.
Features of the Claude Android App
Other features Anthropic mentioned in the launch of the Claude Android app include multilingual processing for real-time language translation and advanced reasoning, which it said can assist with research and problem-solving.
Claude Pro Subscription
In September, Anthropic launched Claude Pro, a subscription-based version of its generative AI model. Claude Pro, like rival AI developer OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus, offers advanced features for a $20 monthly fee.
