• You want browser tasks, reports, and document creation handled without you doing them by hand

• You've heard Claude can build and ship software but haven't tried it

• You want work running in the background even overnight instead of only when you're at your desk

• Claude Code - builds, tests, and ships complete apps from plain English in your terminal

• Claude in Chrome - fills forms, scrapes fields, and completes web tasks inside your browser

• Claude Design - generates interactive prototypes and UI mockups from text descriptions

• Claude Projects - a central workspace hub holding persistent files and context across all your chats
