Today we're introducing Claude Code on the web. You can now delegate coding tasks to Claude without opening your terminal.  With Claude Code on the web, assign multiple tasks that run in parallel while you monitor and steer from your browser or iOS app. It's ideal for tackling bug backlogs, routine fixes, and parallel development work. Each session runs in its own isolated environment on Anthropic-managed infrastructure to keep your code and credentials safe. Claude Code on the web is available now in beta as a research preview for Pro and Max users. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e8yGZT6x

Claude can now use Skills. Skills are how you turn your institutional knowledge into automatic workflows. You know what works—the way you structure reports, analyze data, communicate with clients. Skills let you capture that approach once. Then, Claude applies it automatically whenever it's relevant. Build a Skill for how you structure quarterly reports, and every report follows your methodology. Create one for client communication standards, and Claude maintains consistency across every interaction. Available now for all paid plans. Enable Skills and build your own in Settings > Capabilities > Skills. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eR2Q4-N5

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is our most intelligent model for creating presentations, spreadsheets, and documents. Behind every file, Claude writes and runs code to handle both the heavy computational work and those finishing touches that make a deliverable feel professional. Complex calculations stay accurate. Visual elements properly align. Formatting holds together. Fewer moments of “can you fix this?” Now also available on mobile for all paid plans.

The world is full of problems. It’s up to us to solve them.

We’ve released a temporary research preview called "Imagine with Claude.” In this experiment, Claude builds whatever you can imagine. What you see is Claude creating software in real time, responding and adapting to your requests as you go. "Imagine with Claude" is now available to both Pro and Max users for a limited time. Try it out: claude.ai/imagine

Claude is now available in Slack. Chat with Claude through DMs, tag @Claude in threads, or use the AI assistant panel. Claude maintains the capabilities you rely on—web search, document analysis, and connectors—right where your team collaborates. The integration works both ways. Use Claude within Slack for quick research, drafting responses, or analyzing documents. Connect Slack to Claude to find relevant messages across channels and pull project context. Key capabilities: - Draft and review responses before sharing in threads - Search across channels you have access to—both public and private - Maintain separate conversation histories between platforms - Preserve existing security standards and admin controls Available now in the Slack App Marketplace for paid Slack plans and the MCP directory for Claude Team and Enterprise plans.
