Claude
Anthropic's assistant, prized by writers for natural prose.
Claude is a general-purpose AI assistant that many writers reach for first, thanks to its natural long-form prose, strong dialogue and a large context window that can hold a whole manuscript. Projects keep your story context together. It has no fiction-specific UI, but as a brainstorming and drafting partner it is hard to beat.
Disclosure: this directory is built with Claude. We rank it on the same merits as every other tool.
