Anthropic integrated the Claude Code desktop app into the traditional Claude app, alongside Claude chat and Claude Co-work.

Anthropic's Claude model was the first agentic AI system capable of productive work like software coding.

Anthropic developed a new tool called Claude Code-work, a non-coding version of Claude Code, in a week and a half, almost entirely with Claude Opus.

Anthropic started charging for API access in early 2023, reached a $1 billion run rate by the end of 2024, launched Claude Code in February 2025, reached $4 billion by mid-2025, $9 billion by end of 2025, and $30 billion by April 2026.

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, changed its pricing model to bill firms based on AI usage.

The idea for Claude Co-work, as a thinking partner for general knowledge workers, has been considered by Anthropic for approximately a year prior to its launch.
