• Added a command-line interface (CLI) that lets users install Claude directly into their terminal.
• Released official extensions for VS Code and JetBrains code editors.
• Integrated Claude into Slack for team-based coding help.
• Updated pricing plans to include Claude Code access for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
