San Francisco-based Anthropic said the new iPhone app is available for free and paid users of Claude starting Wednesday, and conversations will synchronize with those conducted via the web-based version of the chatbot. The app will also be able to analyze pictures — such as from photos users take — which enables the chatbot to perform tasks like image recognition. Think spotting a specific kind of finch at a bird feeder.
