4 anthropic tools, completely different jobs:

claude.ai ... chat, drafts, quick research

cowork ... work agent, browser use, file access, day to day ops

claude code ... build, automate, terminal, root control

most people pick the wrong one, then blame the tool

start with claude.ai if you're new

move to claude cowork when you want moer power

move to claude code when you're ready for the real game
