*   **Summarize text.** Claude is great at generating concise summaries of long articles, news stories, documents, conversations, or even books!

*   **Code.** Claude can be an extremely helpful 'pair programmer'. While Claude is best at Python, it knows how to code in all major programming languages.

*   **Act as a debate or brainstorming partner.** Claude is great to bounce ideas off of, help generate different viewpoints, provide recommendations, and generally converse with.

*   **Translate languages.** While Claude is best at English due to its training data, Claude knows more than a dozen languages and can translate between them to varying degrees of success. Some languages Claude is especially good at other than English are Portuguese, French, and German.
