Anthropic executives Cat Wu and Thariq Shihipar discussed Claude Code and Claude Tag, the company's AI coding tools, in a fireside chat at the AI Engineer World's Fair. Claude Tag, a Slack integration launched last week, now generates 65% of Anthropic's product engineering pull requests, enabling collaborative and proactive AI-assisted coding across teams. The tools have fundamentally shifted software engineering workflows at Anthropic by reducing development timelines from months to weeks and elevating the importance of product taste over execution skills.
