Anthropic has two new collaboration features for its Claude AI that aim to streamline workflows. Projects allow teams to create a central hub where they can dump everything they need for that particular project, from documents to code. Once everything is loaded in, team members can ask Claude questions and the AI will comb through the data to come up with answers personalized to that specific project. “Our vision for Claude has always been to create AI systems that work alongside people and meaningfully enhance their workflows,” Anthropic says. “As a step in this direction, Claude.ai Pro and Team users can now organize their chats into Projects, bringing together curated sets of knowledge and chat activity in one place—with the ability to make their best chats with Claude viewable by teammates.”The goal is to avoid what Anthropic calls “cold starts,” where you have to start from scratch every time you engage with the AI. By organizing everything into projects, Claude will have a knowledge base to draw from and can answer questions faster. For those worried about privacy, Anthropic says that “any data or chats shared within Projects will not be used to train our generative models without a user’s explicit consent.”Where Projects helps you collaborate with other people and Claude, Artifacts help users interact more directly with the AI. The way it works is you ask Claude to generate something like a code snippet, a text document, or something similar. The Artifact appears in the window with your chat like a preview window so you can see what the AI is doing.

In addition, Anthropic says Claude Team users can also “share snapshots of their best conversations with Claude” into a shared project feed so teammates can see it. The new features are exclusive to Pro and Team customers and are powered by Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which Anthropic claims can outperform the freshly announced GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini 1.5.
