Collie vs Claude
Claude is a great model. Collie is the assistant that puts it to work — with your tools, your files, and your approval.
What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic's large language model accessed through a web chat interface or API. It's excellent at reasoning and writing but is a conversational tool — it doesn't connect to your calendar, manage files, or run persistent agents that remember context across sessions.
| Feature | Collie | Claude |
|---|---|---|
| Tool connections | Calendar, files, email, search + unlimited | Web search (limited) |
| Persistent agents | Yes — remember context forever | Session only |
| Approvals & routines | Full workflow control | None |
| Model independence | Use Claude, ChatGPT, or any API | Claude only |
| Local execution | Runs on your machine | Cloud-based |
| Cost | Free + your API key | $20/month Pro |
| Open source | MIT licensed | Proprietary |
The bottom line
Claude is a brilliant chat partner. Collie lets you use Claude (or ChatGPT, or any model) as an engine inside a real assistant — one that connects to your calendar, manages your files, remembers your preferences, and asks before doing anything important.
