Usage & termsPlan and usage limitsResearch uses plan-dependent capacity
Free includes up to five Projects; expanded retrieval is paid.
The cloud-thread Project version is a staged Claude Code beta.
Work through language and ideas in conversation
Claude supports creative writing, brainstorming and text in formats including novels and screenplays. It can also condense books, documents or long conversations into summaries, giving an author another way to inspect the material they supply.
That combination supports revision discussion, series catch-up material and reader guides built from the text you supply.
Give related conversations the same reference shelf
A project has its own chats, uploaded knowledge and instructions. Keep manuscript material, background references and a style brief available together instead of supplying them anew in every conversation.
Free accounts can create up to five projects. Paid plans add retrieval that can expand the usable knowledge capacity. The newly announced version with parallel cloud threads is a staged beta starting in Claude Code; existing chat projects continue to work as documented.
Find patterns across a collection of feedback
Claude’s documented feedback workflow combines uploaded responses, transcripts and notes, identifies recurring themes and organizes the findings into an Excel workbook with source references.
Applied to uploaded beta-reader comments, this workflow can separate recurring themes from individual reactions and retain the original feedback for checking.
Access, plans, and limits

Research performs successive searches and develops a cited answer. It can draw on the web and connected Gmail, Calendar or Google Docs when those integrations are enabled.
Research is available on paid plans across web, desktop and mobile and needs web search turned on. Its multiple searches can use the plan’s allowance faster than a standard conversation.

Select a writing and research allowance

Pro costs $20 monthly or $200 annually for web subscriptions. Max offers $100 and $200 monthly tiers with five or twenty times the Pro usage allowance; mobile prices can differ.
