Anthropic in Practice

Map Claude chat, API, and coding-agent workflows to the right job.

Anthropic

By the end

You will be able to

  • Separate conversational, API, and coding-agent use cases.
  • Choose context and tool boundaries deliberately.
  • Verify current model and product availability.
01

One provider, several operating surfaces

Claude can be used through conversational products, APIs, and coding-agent tools. These surfaces differ in authentication, billing, context packaging, tools, and operational control.

Choose the surface from the workflow: interactive thinking, application integration, or repository execution.

02

Treat model details as volatile

Model names, context limits, pricing, and regional availability change. Link to current official documentation instead of embedding long-lived routing rules without a verification date.
