What they are
Claude
Claude is an AI assistant from Anthropic that handles writing, research, analysis, coding, and brainstorming through a chat interface. Creators use it to draft scripts, repurpose content, summarize research, and work through ideas. It stands out for following complex instructions and maintaining context across long documents, though it has no live internet access by default and cannot publish or post content directly.
Runway
Runway is a browser-based AI video platform used by filmmakers, social media creators, and marketing teams to generate, edit, and transform video with text and image prompts. Its Gen-4 Alpha model produces short video clips from text or images, while traditional editing tools sit alongside AI features in one workspace. Output quality impresses at short durations, but longer or complex scenes still require significant iteration.
