Claude 3 is finally available as an iPhone app It is one of the most human-like chatbots I have ever used, and the native mobile app makes engagement on the go much easier

At this time, the app is only available for iOS, with an Android version to be released in the future In addition to the same simple UI as the website, the app version offers multimodality with prompts and the ability to share and analyze images and files

Anthropic is late to the game on the iPhone, following OpenAI's ChatGPT app, Perplexity's AI search app, Poe's multi-AI modeling app, and Microsoft Copilot

Google and Meta are the only two major AI chatbot players without standalone apps However, Gemini functionality is available in the Google app, and in the US, MetaAI is accessible via WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger

The Claude 3 app is a simple reproduction of the desktop version of Claude 3 It displays a text input box and an area to watch Claude's reactions

Through the configuration menu, one can choose between the super-powerful Opus model, the medium-sized Sonnet, and the small but fast Haiku Customization options are minimal

Anthropic's focus seems to be on getting a well performing chatbot that can upload images and documents and work on the web as well as mobile devices

It does well in this regard; where ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot are particularly strong is in mobile-friendly features such as voice input and response

Copying a response, retrying the same prompt, or selecting part of a response is as easy as long pressing a response This is similar to Copilot and ChatGPT

To get the Claude 3 app, simply go to the Apple app store and search for Anthropic, the company that developed the chatbot It's the only Anthropic app in the app store; for iPhones, you can also click this link

Other devices can also access Claude 3, but they are not official apps and will likely require further payment and API key registration The official app is in the form of a white flower on an orange background It too is free to use and there is a premium version available

Speaking of the premium version, I would argue that Claude 3 is the best premium AI chatbot to pay for if you are only going after one of ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude 3 due to its impressive reasoning, natural language, and response capabilities

In addition to the new app, Anthropic is putting its $4 billion investment from Amazon to good use with its new Teams plan This is similar to what OpenAI offers with ChatGPT, which allows multiple users to share data under a single administrative account [The standard plan is $20 per user per month, plus $10 for the Teams plan, but with stricter privacy and security controls, more Opus prompts per day (I keep hitting the limit), and 200,000 versus 120,000 tokens for the Pro plan tokens, compared to 120,000 tokens for the Pro plan, which includes a larger context window

Teams users will also have early access to upcoming new features such as citation from trusted sources, integration with data repositories, and the ability to iterate with colleagues on AI documents

The problem is that you have to pay for multiple users on the Teams plan, and you cannot pay an additional $10 per month to get more prompts, longer context windows, and citations
