Summary: Claude Code launches as an AI coding agent

Why It Matters: Anthropic is moving beyond a simple chat interface to a tool that lives inside a developer's workflow. This product can directly edit code, run terminal commands, and fix GitHub issues, making it a direct competitor to specialized AI coding tools.

What Changed:

• Launched Claude Code, a new tool for developers to build and debug software.
• Added support for the terminal, VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and a desktop app.
• Integrated Claude Code into existing Pro, Team, and Enterprise pricing plans.
• Introduced "Claude in Excel," "Claude in Slack," and "Claude in PowerPoint" as official features.
• Updated the website to focus on "AI agents" and "Code modernization" as key solutions.
• Mentioned new model versions: Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6.
