Claude Code
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-native agent. It runs on your laptop, reads your files, executes shell commands, and remembers what you taught it via a small set of config files. For a CEO, the move is to stop using Claude as a tab in a browser and start using it as a co-worker that lives where your work lives.
