Summary:
Claude launches Claude Code AI agent
Why It Matters:
Anthropic is moving beyond a simple chat interface. They now have a tool that lives inside a developer's terminal and code editor to write, debug, and ship code automatically.
What Changed:
- Added a dedicated product page for Claude Code, an AI agent for terminal and IDE use.
- Introduced a command-line interface (CLI) tool that can be installed via terminal commands.
- Launched native extensions for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.
- Integrated Claude Code into existing subscription tiers, including Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.
- Added a "research preview" for delegating coding tasks via web and iOS.
- Updated the site navigation to prioritize "Claude Code" under the products menu.
