Today, Anthropic launched a revolutionary analysis tool that enables their popular chatbot, Claude, to write and run JavaScript code. This groundbreaking feature is now available in preview for all Claude users on the web. With this new capability, Claude can perform complex calculations, analyze data from various file formats, and render results as interactive visualizations.

What Does This Mean?

Think of the analysis tool as a built-in code sandbox, where Claude can do advanced math, analyze data, and iterate on different ideas before sharing an answer. Instead of relying solely on abstract analysis, Claude can systematically process your data – cleaning, exploring, and analyzing it step-by-step until it reaches the correct result.

When Can You Use This Feature?

Anthropic provides a few examples to illustrate where this feature might be useful:

  • A product manager could upload sales data and ask Claude for country-specific performance analysis.
  • An engineer could give Claude monthly financial data and have it create a dashboard highlighting key trends.

How Does It Work?

Claude can attempt these tasks before, but without a mechanism to mathematically verify the results, the answers weren’t always incredibly accurate. This new feature bridges that gap by enabling Claude to write and run JavaScript code, ensuring more precise and reproducible results.

What’s New Here?

Anthropic’s analysis tool is not the only one of its kind. Google offers a comparable feature for its Gemini models called Code Execution, which lets the models generate and run Python code to learn iteratively from the results. OpenAI’s flagship models also have this capability via Advanced Data Analysis.

How Do I Access This Feature?

The analysis tool is available for all Claude users on the web as of Thursday. To turn it on, log into Claude.ai and click here.

Conclusion

Anthropic’s new analysis tool represents a significant step forward in AI capabilities. With the ability to write and run JavaScript code, Claude can provide more accurate and reliable results, making it an invaluable asset for businesses and individuals alike.
