## FAQ

### Is B.Claw the same as Claude?  
No. Claude (by Anthropic) is a general-purpose large language model accessed via a chat window — claude.ai or the Claude API. B.Claw is a real-estate-specific AI agent built on top of LLM tech that connects to Gmail, your CRM, calendar, MLS, and 250+ tools and takes actions across them. Claude is a chat tool; B.Claw is a workflow agent.

### Does B.Claw use Claude under the hood?  
B.Claw is built on top of modern LLM infrastructure (Claude, GPT, and similar models) routed for the specific task at hand. The model layer is abstracted — users don't pick Claude vs GPT vs Gemini, they just write a task and B.Claw routes it to the best model for that task.

### Which is cheaper, B.Claw or Claude?  
Claude has a free tier and Claude Pro at $20/month. B.Claw starts at $99/month (Start) and tops out at $599/month (Heavy). On price, Claude is cheaper — but they solve different problems. Claude is a chat window for writing tasks; B.Claw is an agent that connects to your real tools and takes actions across them.

### Can I use Claude for real estate work instead of B.Claw?  
For chat-based writing tasks (listing descriptions, market reports, neighborhood blurbs, disclosure document reading) — yes, Claude (or ChatGPT) is great. For workflow tasks where the AI needs to read your Gmail, query your MLS, prepare a CMA from comps, draft replies, and queue them into Gmail — Claude can't do that directly. That's where B.Claw fills the gap.

### Is B.Claw better than Claude for reading contracts?  
For one-off long-document reading (purchase agreements, disclosures, HOA docs), Claude's 200K-token context window is excellent — paste the PDF in and ask questions. For agents who do this 5+ times per week as part of buyer-rep workflow, B.Claw integrates document reading into the broader pipeline (calendar event triggers contract review, draft reply queued in Gmail).
