Since the launch of ChatGPT, every software development company has been trying to compete with the bot. Unfortunately, none of them is able to do so. As a result, Anthropic, a leading American AI company, came forward and built its own AI Powered Chatbot that claims to compete and sometimes be better than ChatGPT. After checking and trying out Claude, we created this guide to help you to use Claude and also check how Claude competes to the standards set by ChatGPT.
What is Anthropic Claude?
Claude is an AI Chatbot developed by Anthropic. Interestingly, Anthropic is an AI Startup that is actually founded by a former employee of OpenAI, the brand behind ChatGPT. Therefore, you can think this is one of the most worthy and competent ChatGPT alternatives.
While Anthropic company is started by ex-OpenAI employees, the company has gained support from Google. Unlike ChatGPT, which works on LLM, Claude works with Constitutional AI. This means, Constitutional AI makes it safe for everyone to use, unlike ChatGPT, which can teach you how to do something to harm others, Claude can prevent that up to a great extent.
How to Use Claude Alternative To ChatGPT
As of now, there are two ways to use Claude – the best ChatGPT alternative. Either you can use Claude with the help of Slack or Net.dev. We found the Slack option to be the easiest.
Method 1: Using Claude Via Slack
Slack is one of the most popular collab tools these days. However, for the unknowns, Slack is a cloud-based team collaboration tool that is widely used in workplaces to facilitate communication and collaboration between team members.
Further, it was created by Stewart Butterfield, the co-founder of Flickr, in 2013. Slack is a real-time messaging platform that allows team members to send direct messages to one another or to communicate through group channels. It supports a variety of media types, including text, images, videos, and files.
Interestingly, Slack integrates with a wide range of third-party tools, including Google Drive, Trello, and Zoom, allowing users to easily share and access information from within the platform and everyone’s favorite Claude. As a result, we will be using Slack to try out Claude.
If you don’t know how to use Slack, it is very easy. Just follow these steps:
- Go to this link and create an account using your Email ID.
- Once you have created an account, click on Browse Slack.
- Click on Apps.
- Now search for Claude.
- Click on Claude and then click on Add to Slack.
Now Claude will be added to Slack, and you can start using it. Although this is the easiest and most convenient way of using Claude, we have one more method of using it.
Method 2: Use Claude With Nat.Dev
Nat.Dev gained traction after being launched as the sole ChatGPT competitor and naming itself as resembling OpenPlayground. The name is so similar that even users get confused about whether it is OpenAI Playground or Open Playground.
Nevertheless, with Nat.dev, you can use Claude easily, but not like the Slack method. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Go to Nat.dev, this is the URL. Copy and paste it into your browser.
- Create an account on it, as it is free. You can also directly use this link.
- Now select claude-v1.2Â as your desired language model from the top-right corner.
- You will now have to pay $5 for using this. Considering the functionalities it is cheap right now.
- Once paid, you will go into an interface that is similar to OpenAI Playground.
Type in your queries and see Claude answering them. Claude will answer your questions as you tap on the Green Submit Button. However, remember that there’s some limit to the answers Claude can give you as of now. But we don’t know about that limit. We will update it once we have that information .
Which is the Best Method to Use Claude?
If you don’t wish to pay any money, using Claude via Slack is the best method we have discovered so far. Moreover, Slack is actually a chatting tool, so talking with a bot becomes more natural. Anyway, it is up to you completely as to how you want to use this ChatGPT rival.
Which is Better, Claude or ChatGPT?
If you are here, then you have probably used ChatGPT. We would like to say that ChatGPT is actually better in terms of everything. However, it is worth noting that Claude has come very close in terms of the functionality and capability of ChatGPT.
Nevertheless, Claude has got plenty of work to do before it becomes a worthy competitor to ChatGPT. The only thing we found in Claude is that is better at Creative Work. Other than that, in everything else, including coding, writing resumes, and letters, everything ChatGPT does is extraordinary. ChatGPT is even familiar with a lot of SEO.
So, if you are someone who’s going to depend on an AI, this is not the right time because even ChatGPT gives out errors and answers that don’t even exist. On the other hand, Claude simply says that it doesn’t know about it.
All in all, we can see that only Bard can do something that is extraordinary and up-to-date with the current information. In contrast, Microsoft recently came up with powering its Bing search engine with ChatGPT, which is browsing the internet and giving fruitful results. At this time, we should wait and see what the future beholds.
The Bottom Line
Well, that’s all we have here about how you can use the ChatGPT rival Claude. We hope this guide has helped you. If you are still having trouble accessing Claude, make sure to comment down, and we will help you out.
