Claude Quickstarts
Claude Quickstarts is a collection of projects designed to help developers quickly get started with building applications using the Claude API. Each quickstart provides a foundation that you can easily build upon and customize for your specific needs.
Getting Started
To use these quickstarts, you'll need an Claude API key. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up for free at console.anthropic.com.
Available Quickstarts
Customer Support Agent
A customer support agent powered by Claude. This project demonstrates how to leverage Claude's natural language understanding and generation capabilities to create an AI-assisted customer support system with access to a knowledge base.

Financial Data Analyst
A financial data analyst powered by Claude. This project demonstrates how to leverage Claude's capabilities with interactive data visualization to analyze financial data via chat.

Computer Use Demo
An environment and tools that Claude can use to control a desktop computer. This project demonstrates how to leverage the computer use capabilities of Claude, including support for the latest computer_toolset_20260801 toolset shape, where each computer action is a member tool the model calls by name.

Computer Use Best Practices
A pedagogical, native-macOS reference implementation of a computer-use agent. Unlike the containerized Computer Use Demo, this project runs directly against the macOS desktop (run it in a VM!) and demonstrates common patterns for building more reliable and cost-effective computer-use agents: explicit tool definitions, correct image sizing and pruning, prompt caching, server-side compaction, batched tool calls, a sandboxed shell, and trajectory recording. It pairs with Anthropic's computer-use best-practices guide.

Browser Use Demo
A complete reference implementation for browser automation powered by Claude. This project demonstrates how to give Claude the ability to navigate websites, inspect and interact with DOM elements, extract content, and fill forms using a custom Playwright-backed browser tool.

Autonomous Coding Agent
An autonomous coding agent powered by the Claude Agent SDK. This project demonstrates a two-agent pattern (initializer + coding agent) that can build complete applications over multiple sessions, with progress persisted via git and a feature list that the agent works through incrementally.

Managed Agents: Chat SDK
A browser chat app powered by Claude Managed Agents and Vercel's Chat SDK. This project demonstrates how to pair a persistent Managed Agents session per conversation with a chat surface: a research analyst researches with web search and streams its brief token by token while a live feed shows the tool calls. The same handler runs on Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, or WhatsApp by swapping the Chat SDK adapter.

Managed Agents with CopilotKit and AG-UI
A personal finance assistant chat app built on a Claude Managed Agent and rendered with CopilotKit. This project demonstrates how to bridge a managed-agent session to the AG-UI protocol, stream replies token by token with event deltas, and render agent tool calls as interactive generative UI components in the chat.

Managed Agents: Knowledge Wiki
A deal-room knowledge wiki built with Claude Managed Agents. This project demonstrates how to distill a document corpus once into a versioned memory-store knowledge wiki — using parallel extraction sessions, a resolve pass, and a steered consolidation dream — then answer repeated analyst questions from the wiki with provenance on every fact and a fraction of the per-question token cost of raw-document search. The worked example is a real M&A data room fetched from public SEC EDGAR filings.
