Anthropic Unveils Web App for Claude Code

Anthropic has launched a web-based version of its AI coding assistant, Claude Code, enabling developers to create, manage, and interact with AI-driven coding agents directly from their browsers. The new web interface is available to Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers and can be accessed via the claude.ai website under the 'Code' tab or through the Claude iOS app.

This launch signifies a major expansion for Claude Code, which was primarily available as a command-line interface (CLI) tool. By transitioning to the web, Anthropic aims to make its AI coding ecosystem more accessible and user-friendly, allowing developers to run coding agents in a broader range of environments. The company noted a tenfold increase in Claude Code users since May, contributing to over $500 million in annualized revenue.

Anthropic revealed that approximately 90% of Claude Code's codebase was written by its AI models, showcasing the system's ability to autonomously generate production-level code. The platform supports agentic code generation, enabling developers to oversee autonomous coding assistants that manage tasks and workflows rather than relying on traditional line-by-line code writing.

While the web version enhances accessibility, Anthropic emphasized that the CLI remains the primary platform for advanced customization and intelligent features. Developers using the CLI can leverage deeper integrations, making it the preferred environment for more complex and large-scale projects.

The web launch comes amid increasing competition in the AI coding space, with major players like GitHub Copilot, Google, OpenAI, and Cursor all vying for developer attention. AI tools have proven effective at automating repetitive coding tasks, but research indicates that developers working on complex projects sometimes spend additional time refining or correcting AI-generated code.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei remains optimistic about AI's long-term trajectory in software development, predicting that AI could eventually write up to 90% of all code, though widespread industry adoption will likely take time.

With the new Claude Code web app, Anthropic is positioning itself at the forefront of the AI developer tools revolution, bridging the gap between intelligent automation and human-driven software innovation.
