Anthropic launches Claude Code web app, expanding access to AI-powered coding agents

Anthropic has officially brought its AI coding assistant, Claude Code, to the web, making it easier than ever for developers to build and manage autonomous coding agents. Previously available only via command-line interface (CLI), Claude Code is now accessible through a new “Code” tab on claude.ai for users on the Pro and Max subscription tiers.

The launch marks a major step in Anthropic’s push to democratize access to agentic AI tools. “We’re continuing to put Claude Code everywhere, helping it meet developers wherever they are,” said Cat Wu, Product Manager at Anthropic.

What Claude Code offers

Claude Code goes beyond autocomplete tools like GitHub Copilot by enabling developers to spin up autonomous agents that can tackle complex coding tasks. These agents can write, debug, and optimize code with minimal human input, making them ideal for rapid prototyping and large-scale development.Key features include:

Wu revealed that Claude Code has grown 10x in users since May and now contributes over $500 million in annualized revenue. She also noted that 90% of Claude Code’s own product is written by Anthropic’s AI models.

The future of AI coding

Anthropic joins a competitive field of AI coding tools, including offerings from Google, OpenAI, and GitHub. While early tools focused on line-by-line suggestions, Claude Code represents a shift toward agentic generation, where developers manage AI assistants that operate more independently.

Despite concerns that AI coding tools may slow developers in complex environments, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei remains bullish. He predicts that AI will soon write 90% of code for software engineers—a reality already unfolding inside Anthropic itself.
