Anthropic on Tuesday released a new collaborative tool for its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Claude. The tool, called Projects, allows users to base the chatbot’s output on internal knowledge provided to it. This allows users to create an internal knowledge hub that can provide information in the style and tone that the user needs. The feature could be useful for both individuals and enterprises. Notably, the AI company released Claude 3.5 Sonnet last week, and the new tool could leverage its capabilities.
Projects for Claude AI
In a newsroom afterAnthropic said Projects is designed to bring together curated sets of knowledge and chat activity into a single interface. Projects are also shareable, so the entire organization or a specific team can view the top chats with the AI. The AI company also said the feature will enable the AI chatbot to generate useful ideas, make more strategic decisions and show results that align with the user’s goals.

Simply put, projects are similar to AI agents like Google Gems or OpenAI’s GPTs. Users creating a project can upload multiple documents to create an internal knowledge base. The AI will then curate responses based on this knowledge (along with pre-training data) and share responses that are more relevant. To further customize the responses, users can add custom instructions for each project.
The company said each project will have a context window of 2,00,000 tokens, which is almost equivalent to a 500-page book. This means the AI can contextualize the information across a wide range of style guides, code bases, interview transcripts, or previous work shared with it. The feature also runs on the recently released Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which Anthropic said outperforms Claude 3 Opus, GPT-4o, and Gemini 1.5 Pro.
The main advantage of Projects over other AI agents is that it’s also shareable. That means users can share the best chats with Claude with other teammates in a centralized activity feed. The company says this will allow all teammates to gain insights from a project.
Projects are available on Claude.ai for all Pro and Team subscribers. Notably, the Claude Pro plan costs $20 (approximately Rs. 1,670) per person per month and the Claude Team plan costs $25 (approximately Rs. 2,090) per person per month with a minimum of five added members.
