Other Ways to Work with Claude

Claude Everywhere You Work

Claude is an intelligence — claude.ai is just one way of working with it. Claude is also available in several specialized tools designed to meet you where you already work. Each tool is tailored to specific workflows and use cases.

Claude Code

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that works in your terminal, IDE, browser, or Slack. It understands your codebase, executes commands, and handles entire development workflows through natural language.

• Build features by describing what you need in plain English — Claude writes the code, runs tests, and creates commits.
• Debug issues by pasting error messages — Claude analyzes your codebase to identify and fix problems.
• Navigate unfamiliar codebases by asking how different parts work together.
• Automate tedious tasks like fixing lint errors, resolving merge conflicts, or writing release notes.
