Anthropic is rolling out a voice mode for Claude Code, its AI coding assistant, extending the product toward more conversational, hands-free development workflows.

The capability was announced on X by Anthropic engineer Thariq Shihipar, and is currently live for about 5% of users, with a wider rollout planned over the coming weeks.

Developers can enable the feature by typing /voice, then speak instructions for Claude Code to execute — for example, asking it to “refactor the authentication middleware.” Limitations and technical details have not been fully disclosed, including whether there are caps on voice interactions or whether a third-party voice provider is involved.
