AI Tool WatchCan Claude Take Actions and Run Tools?
Yes — requires a paid plan
Claude Code
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool. It requires **Pro subscription at minimum—that's $20/month**. Available as a terminal CLI, a **native VS Code extension**, and a **native JetBrains plugin** (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, Android Studio, WebStorm, PhpStorm, GoLand), plus Xcode integration via the Claude Agent SDK. It also now runs **in the browser at claude.ai/code** ('Claude Code on the web'), and the **Claude mobile app** (iOS/Android) lets you start, monitor, and steer cloud sessions or use Remote Control on a local session. A **Chrome extension** adds browser automation (reading console/DOM, testing, form-filling) to coding tasks on any paid plan.

Cowork Mode
Cowork brings Claude Code's agentic capabilities to knowledge work beyond coding—it launched January 2026 and expanded to all paid plans in February. It's now available on **web, Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows), and the Claude mobile apps**, not just desktop, with the Chrome side panel rolling out from Max/Team to Pro. As of September 2026, Anthropic is **merging Cowork and chat into a single 'Claude' experience** ('Claude Cowork and chat are one Claude'), rolling out gradually starting with Pro and Max: there's no more mode to pick—any conversation can hand off a task the way Cowork used to.
