Summary: Claude Code launches as an AI coding agent

Why It Matters: Anthropic is moving beyond a simple chat interface into a specialized tool for developers. This new product works directly inside a programmer's terminal and code editor to write and fix code automatically.

What Changed:

• Launched Claude Code, a new tool for terminal and IDE environments.
• Added native extensions for VS Code and JetBrains editors.
• Introduced a new "Max" subscription tier priced at $100 and $200 per month.
• Integrated Claude into Slack and Google Excel as new features.
• Updated the homepage to focus entirely on developer tools and agentic capabilities.
