Anthropic has introduced a new feature for their Claude.ai chat bot interface called “the analysis tool,” allowing users to write code, execute it, and continue conversations using the results. Unlike OpenAI’s ChatGPT Code Interpreter, Claude uses JavaScript directly in the browser, communicating via a secure sandbox. The tool is recommended for complex math problems and analyzing user-uploaded files, with access to libraries like Lodash and Papa Parse. However, there are restrictions, such as code isolation between the analysis tool and Claude Artifacts. Surprisingly, only Lodash and Papa Parse can be imported, and file uploads have size limitations. Anthropic plans to address these issues in the future.
