Anthropic offers three distinct ways to interact with Claude, each targeting a different workflow. Claude Chat is a conversational assistant for thinking, writing, and research. Claude Code is a terminal-native coding agent that handles full development cycles including writing code, running tests, and managing git workflows. Claude Cowork is the newest addition — an agentic desktop assistant that automates file management and repetitive tasks via a GUI, with direct local file access and computer control. All three are included in the same $20/month subscription.
