How Claude became tech insiders' chatbot of choice

Claude, a creation of artificial intelligence company Anthropic, is not the best-known AI chatbot on the market. (That would be OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has more than 300 million weekly users and a spot in the bookmark bar of every high school student in America.) Claude also is not designed to draw users into relationships with lifelike AI companions, the way apps like Character. AI and Replika are.
