Anthropic's Claude AI assistant launches consumer and business access across Europe

Anthropic announced on May 14, 2024 that Claude, the company’s AI assistant, is now available to people and businesses across Europe. The rollout includes access via web, a mobile app, and a team plan for organizations.

What is being offered

  • Claude.ai: the web-based interface providing access to Anthropic’s next‑generation AI assistant.
  • Claude iOS app: a free mobile app delivering the same intuitive experience as the mobile web; available for download from the Apple App Store.
  • Claude Team plan: a business offering that provides secure team access to Anthropic’s AI capabilities.
  • Claude 3 model family: the release includes availability of the Claude 3 series of models.

The announcement notes that earlier in the year Anthropic made the Claude API available in Europe, enabling developers to integrate the company’s models into their own applications, websites, or services.

Language support and user experience

According to Anthropic, Claude demonstrates strong comprehension and fluency in several European languages, including French, German, Spanish and Italian, allowing users to interact in multiple languages. The company also emphasizes a user‑friendly, intuitive interface designed to make it straightforward to incorporate the AI into workflows.

Pricing and availability

  • Claude.ai and the Claude iOS app are available for free.
  • Claude Pro subscription: €18 + VAT per month (or local currency equivalent), which unlocks access to all models, including Claude 3 Opus.
  • Claude Team plan: €28 + VAT per user per month (or local currency equivalent), with a minimum purchase of five seats.

Why this matters

The launch broadens Anthropic’s direct consumer and business presence in Europe, while the earlier API release enabled developer integrations. Multilingual support and multiple access options (web, mobile, business plans) indicate Anthropic’s intention to address varied needs across the European market.

Additional notes

Anthropic has made the announcement available in multiple languages (French, German, Italian and Spanish). The company did not publish country‑by‑country availability dates or further technical details beyond what is summarized above.
