Claude Code
Claude Code is a tool that lets you work with an AI coding agent directly on the files in a folder on your own computer.
Also called: the coding agent, the agent you build with
You point it at a folder, describe what you want in plain English, and it reads and edits the files there, runs commands, and reports back, the difference from pasting code into a chat window, since it sees what is really in your project rather than what you remembered to paste.
This is the thing you drive while you build. What trips people up is billing: the plan that powers the agent you talk to is not the credit your finished app spends running on its own. Two different bills. See what this costs today.
