Anthropic launches AI code review tool for enterprise users
Anthropic launched an AI-powered code review tool for enterprise customers, even as it faces a legal dispute with the US Department of Defense over supply chain risks.
On Monday, Anthropic launched Code Review, a new product within Claude Code designed to help enterprise teams manage the surge of AI-generated pull requests. Pull requests are a mechanism that developers use to submit code changes for review before those changes make it into the software. According to Cat Wu, Anthropic’s head of product, the company has seen a lot of growth in Claude Code, especially within the enterprise. This growth has led to a high volume of pull requests, creating a bottleneck for engineering teams. Wu noted that enterprise leaders frequently ask how to ensure these automated pull requests are reviewed in an efficient manner now that Claude Code is producing so many of them. “Code Review is our answer to that,” said Cat Wu, Anthropic’s head of product.
The new tool integrates with GitHub to automatically analyze code. To ensure the feedback is immediately actionable for developers, the system focuses purely on identifying logic errors rather than stylistic issues, catching the highest priority things to fix. Wu explained that developers often get annoyed with automated feedback when it is not immediately actionable, which is why Anthropic decided to focus purely on logic errors. Wu estimated that each review would cost $15 to $25 on average.
The product is targeted at larger scale enterprise users, specifically naming companies like Uber, Salesforce, and Accenture. These companies already use Claude Code and now want help managing the sheer amount of pull requests that the tool is helping produce. Wu noted that the tool is a response to an intense amount of market pull. This commercial expansion comes as the company stated that Claude Code’s run-rate revenue—an annualized revenue projection based on current performance—has surpassed $2.5 billion.
This product rollout coincides with a regulatory conflict. On Monday, Anthropic filed two lawsuits against the Department of Defense in response to the agency’s designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk. The legal dispute will likely see Anthropic leaning more heavily on its enterprise business.
Why it matters
Anthropic is balancing enterprise product expansion with a legal challenge against the US government, signaling a shift toward securing its commercial footing amidst regulatory friction.
