Claude was first released as an AI chatbot in March 2023.

Summary

This sets the starting point for Claude's existence as a public AI chatbot, meaning any claim about its features, training, or development timeline has to be consistent with a March 2023 origin. It acts as a baseline fact that other observations about Claude's evolution, capabilities, or market position build on, and any statement suggesting an earlier release would conflict with it.

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

IN claude-expanded-from-chatbot-to-agentic-platform — Claude evolved from a chatbot (March 2023) to an agentic platform with CLI coding tools (Code, May 2025), GUI office automation (Cowork, January 2026), and visual design (Design, April 2026) — a progression from conversation to autonomous task execution.
