This week, Anthropic released Claude Science. It is an app for scientists, available in beta. It runs on Anthropic’s existing Claude models, not a new model. The app targets researchers who juggle databases, notebooks, and cluster terminals. It runs multi-step research and records how each result was made. The beta is available for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.
Claude Science builds on Anthropic’s life sciences work from last fall. That earlier work connected Claude to the scientific ecosystem through MCPs and skills.
What is Claude Science?
Claude Science is an AI workbench for research. It integrates the tools and packages researchers use most. It analyzes literature, executes multi-step research, and produces detailed artifacts. You can refine figures and manuscripts until they are publication-ready.
You talk to one generalist coordinating agent in plain language. That agent has access to over 60 curated skills and connectors. These come pre-configured for genomics, single-cell, proteomics, structural biology, and cheminformatics.
