The company said it wanted to remove the tedious procedural aspects inherent to scientific research by uniting fragmented tools, resources, file formats and databases.

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude and Mythos, has unveiled its ‘Claude Science’ offering, which it described as “an AI workbench for scientists”.

Classified as a “public beta app” that runs using existing Claude models, Anthropic said its new product would “integrate the tools and packages that researchers most commonly use” in order to produce “auditable artifacts”, and provide “flexible access to computing resources”.

The company said it aimed to remove the tedious procedural aspects inherent to scientific research by uniting fragmented tools, resources, file formats and databases “into a single research environment where scientists can conduct all stages of their work”.

The app, which is now available in beta via Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, can help scientific users analyse literature, execute multi-step research, produce detailed artifacts, and iteratively refine figures and manuscripts prior to publication, according to its maker.
