Learning objectives

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Understand when to use additional Claude products including Claude Code, Claude for Slack, Claude for Excel, and Claude for Chrome

As we mentioned at the start of this course, Claude is an intelligence. Claude.ai is just one way of working with it.

Claude is also available in several specialized tools designed to meet you where you already work. This lesson introduces four additional ways to work with Claude, each tailored to specific workflows and use cases.

Claude Code

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that works where you work — in your terminal, IDE, browser, or even in Slack. It understands your codebase, executes commands, and handles entire development workflows through natural language.

When to use Claude Code:

• You want to build features by describing what you need in plain English, and have Claude write the code, run tests, and create commits
• You need to debug issues by pasting error messages and having Claude analyze your codebase to identify and fix problems
• You’re navigating an unfamiliar codebase and want to ask questions about how different parts work together
• You want to automate tedious tasks like fixing lint errors, resolving merge conflicts, or writing release notes
• You prefer working in your terminal alongside your existing IDE and development tools rather than switching to a separate interface
