Summary: Claude Code launches as an AI coding agent

Why It Matters: The competitor is moving beyond simple chat to a tool that lives inside the developer's workflow. It can now edit files, run terminal commands, and manage entire coding tasks directly.

What Changed:

  • Launched Claude Code, a new agentic tool for the terminal and IDE.
  • Added native extensions for VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and JetBrains.
  • Integrated Claude Code into existing Pro, Team, and Enterprise subscription plans.
  • Introduced a "Max" plan tier with higher usage limits for power users.
  • Added a Slack integration that allows teams to use the coding agent within channels.
  • Updated the website navigation to focus on "Solutions" like AI agents and code modernization.
