What is Claude Code?

Cloud Code is an agentic coding tool that understands your codebase, edits your files, run commands, and integrates with your existing developer tools to help you get things done faster.

It's available in your terminal, Visual Studio Code, the Claw desktop app, on the web, and Jetrains IDEs.

but we'll be using it in the terminal for this video.

If you've ever used Cloud AI, you're probably wondering what the difference is between the two. Unlike Cloud AI, Cloud Code has direct access to your files, your terminal, and your entire

codebase. So, instead of copying and

codebase. So, instead of copying and pasting code back and forth, it can go in and do all the work itself. The

easiest differentiator is that Cloud Code works as an AI agent.

An AI agent is a software that can interact with this environment and perform actions to complete a defined goal. The most basic way this can be

goal. The most basic way this can be done is by having a large language model in a loop in real time. AI agents have access to things like tools, external

services, or other AI agents to help it reach its predefined goals.

So, what does that actually look like?

Well, here's a couple of examples. It

can read and understand your codebase.

You can ask Cloud Code to explain a feature or trace a bug throughout your code. Cloud Code can execute your build

code. Cloud Code can execute your build script, run your tests, install packages, and use the output to decide what to do next. Cloud Code can search the web. If it needs documentation on

the web. If it needs documentation on the latest API references, for example, it can do that for you. To use Cloud Code effectively, it's important to know

these concepts. First is the context

these concepts. First is the context window. Think of this as Claude's

window. Think of this as Claude's working memory. It can hold a lot, but

working memory. It can hold a lot, but not everything at once. This is where the agentic aspect of it comes in.

Finding strategic ways to find the answers within your codebase without storing your entire codebase into context. Second is that it asks for

context. Second is that it asks for permission. By default, cloud code will

permission. By default, cloud code will ask you before running commands or making changes to your codebase. You're

always in control, whether that's being more hands-on or passive. Third, it can make mistakes. Just like any tool, cloud

make mistakes. Just like any tool, cloud code isn't perfect. It might

misunderstand your intent, introduce a new bug, or overengineer a solution.

Quick recap. Clot code is an agentic coding tool. It reads your codebase,

coding tool. It reads your codebase, edits your files, runs commands, and connects to external tools to help you ship faster. You can download it today

ship faster. You can download it today in your terminal, VS Code, Jet Brains, and the Claw desktop app.
