Where it excels2 strengths
Capability
Strongest all-round AI for knowledge work
Writing, research, analysis, coding, strategy — and slides — all at a high standard in one place.
Skills
Turn any workflow into a /command
Build a Skill once — invoice format, email style, report template. Call it from any chat with a slash.
Key features5 features
Watch out
Opus burns tokens fast — Sonnet is the default
Sonnet with Low Think handles most tasks well at a fraction of the token cost.
Limits
Two resets: every 4 hours and every week
Rolling 4-hour window — not a midnight reset. Weekly cap applies separately. Plan your heavy usage.
Projects
Projects save context, files, and tokens
Instructions and reference docs load every session automatically. Limit: 20 files, 30 MB per project.
Artifacts
Artifacts vs Live Artifacts — not the same
Artifacts are shareable working apps built in chat. Live Artifacts (Cowork only) pull real-time external data.
⚠ Warning
Cowork acts on real files — give access carefully
Desktop-only agent that creates, edits, and deletes files locally. Deleted files bypass the bin permanently.
Give Cowork access to a copy of the folder — not the originals.
Watch out for2 limitations
Limitation
Sonnet 4 outperforms Opus on most everyday tasks
Opus is slower and heavier. Reserve it for genuine multi-step reasoning — not writing or summarising.
No image gen
Can't generate images — only analyse them
Claude reads and describes images well but cannot create them. Use Gemini or ChatGPT for image generation.
