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 terminal and code editor. This makes it a direct competitor to other AI coding assistants and agentic tools.

What Changed:

• Added Claude Code, a new product for the terminal and IDE.
• Launched native extensions for VS Code and JetBrains.
• Added a Slack integration for Claude Code in beta.
• Introduced new pricing tiers for Claude Code, including Pro, Max, and Team plans.
• Updated the website navigation to focus on "Solutions" like AI agents and coding.
• Added a command-line installation method for the new coding agent.
