Summary:
Claude Code launches as an AI coding agent
Why It Matters:
Anthropic is moving beyond a simple chat interface. They now have a tool that works directly inside a developer's terminal and code editor to write and fix code automatically.
What Changed:
- Launched Claude Code, a new tool for the terminal and IDE.
- Added native extensions for VS Code and JetBrains.
- Introduced a Slack integration for coding tasks.
- Updated pricing plans to include Claude Code in Pro ($20/mo), Max ($100-$200/mo), and Team ($150/mo) tiers.
- Added "Skills" and "AI Agents" to the product solutions menu.
- Updated the homepage to focus on developer workflows rather than general AI safety research.
