Claude Code Comes to the Browser: AI Coding Made Simple

Anthropic has just lowered the barrier to entry for its AI-powered coding assistant, Claude Code. Until now, it mostly lived in the command line, which meant you had to be comfortable with terminals and setup before diving in. That’s changing quickly though—because Claude Code now runs directly in your browser.

No installs, no fiddly setup—just open a page and start coding with AI by your side.

What You Can Do

• Write and test code instantly
  Open the Claude Code web app, type out what you want to build, and watch as it generates working code. From quick scripts to bug fixes or even full-blown prototypes, you’ll see results straight away.

• Learn by experimenting
  Perfect for budding coders. You can ask Claude Code to explain concepts, suggest improvements, or break down tricky pieces of code into plain English.

• Stay in your flow
  Everything runs in a managed “sandbox” inside the browser, so you don’t risk breaking your local setup. It’s safe to experiment, test, and explore.

Much Like Codex in ChatGPT

If you’ve used ChatGPT’s Codex before, this will feel familiar. Much like Codex, you can now access Claude Code directly in your browser—just by clicking the “Code” button above your chats in the sidebar. The transition from conversation to code is seamless, no command line required.

Why This Matters

For experienced developers, this is all about speed—you can spin up code, test it, and refine it without losing momentum. For beginners and hobbyists, it’s about accessibility—you no longer need to install Node.js, configure workflows, or wrestle with your machine just to get started.

Think of it as a co-pilot that’s stepped out of the terminal and onto the web, ready for anyone to try.

Getting Started

1. Open Claude in your browser.
2. Click the “Code” button above your chat sidebar.
3. Start typing prompts—Claude Code will take it from there.

That’s it. No command line skills required.

Final Thought

By lowering the barrier to entry, Anthropic is putting Claude Code in reach of far more people—from professional devs wanting to ship features faster, to curious “vibe coders” experimenting with ideas. It’s coding made conversational, and now it’s only a click away.
