# Using Claude with Producer Pal

Anthropic's Claude models work great with Producer Pal. A free tier is available
with an Anthropic account, but has low usage limits. A subscription ($20/mo Pro)
is recommended for regular use.

## Recommendation

**Claude Desktop** is the easiest and most reliable option. It's what Producer
Pal was originally built for.

## Model Notes

- The latestClaude Sonnet or Opus is recommended for complex musical tasks
- Haiku works for simple operations but may struggle with anything complicated
