    Anthropic makes an announcement:

    Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the Claude iOS app, bringing the power of Claude to your iPhone—and the launch of our Team plan, making it easier to use Claude as part of a team.

    Claude iOS app

    With the launch of the Claude iOS app, you can access Claude from anywhere, any time.

    The Claude iOS app features:

    • Seamless syncing with web chats: Pick up where you left off on a new device.
    • Vision capabilities: Use photos from your library, take new photos, or upload files to get real time image analysis.
    • Open access: Users on any plan can download the Claude app free of charge.

    Whether you’re brainstorming ideas on the go, need a quick answer on a pressing question, or want to analyze scenes and images from the real world, our new iOS app puts the power of frontier intelligence in your back pocket.

    To download the iOS app, find us on the Apple App Store.

    Claude for your team

    Our new Team plan is designed for ambitious teams that want to collaborate with Claude on deep work, expert research, and tasks of every size.

    The Team plan includes:

    • Increased usage: More usage per user than the Pro plan, so every teammate can get what they need from Claude
    • Access to the Claude 3 model family: Use Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku. There’s a model for every business need.
    • 200K context window: Room to process long documents, discuss complex topics, and maintain multi-step conversations.
    • Admin tools and billing management: Manage access and billing in a centralized place.
    • Everything in Pro: Priority access during high-traffic periods, early access to new features, greater usage rates, and more.

    In the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing collaboration features, which include citations from reliable sources to verify AI generated claims, integrations with data repositories like codebases or CRMs, and iterating with colleagues on AI-generated documents or projects—all while maintaining the highest standards of security and safety.

    The Team plan is $30 per user per month, with a minimum of 5 seats. To get started with the Team plan, sign up on claude.ai.

    Warmly, The Anthropic team

    Wakelet Acquires Digital Portfolio solution, bulb

    A question that never grows old for me is, How are schools today encouraging students to create digital portfolios of their K-12 work? It’s a question that came up at every K-12 school district I worked in. Solutions like bulb didn’t really pop up until after I stopped looking for a digital portfolio solution. One of the big challenges for these types of solutions, like bulb, is per user cost. Still, that doesn’t take away from the need for a digital portfolio solution.

    News from Wakelet

    Wakelet, a curation platform, has acquired bulb, a digital portfolio solution:

    Education systems are responding to this, by going further than ever to prepare their students for life beyond the classroom - empowering them with digital portfolios. Together with Bulb, we’ll be able to offer even more value to schools and districts looking to maximize student outcomes inside and outside the classroom.” Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Lafayette, CO, bulb is the leading digital portfolio provider for districts, schools, and higher education institutions. It is used by 8 of the largest 25 school districts in the USA and 7 out of the largest 10 districts in Texas. bulb has users in all 50 states of the USA and 153 countries worldwide. source

    Memories

    Back in 2015-2016, or maybe a little after that, I remember meeting with a bulb representative. We sat down at Salsalitos Mexican Restaurant in San Antonio, Tx at a back table in the dimly lit space and chatted about bulb. I remember being a little nervous about the meeting, and nothing came of it.

    It’s hard to believe we’re now in 2024, and bulb’s reach has grown to its current size. At the time, I remember thinking about Dr. Helen Barrett’s work regarding electronic portfolios from WAY back when. It’s amazing how far digital portfolios have come, and how easy it is to use a wide variety of solution providers or self-hosted, open source tools to host portfolios.

    Partnered with the Wakelet team, I’m sure more amazing things will happen with bulb.
