Claude Code launches Projects, splitting one conversation into parallel cloud tasks
Anthropic hands session management to the project itself, which runs threads in parallel and remembers how you work; beta only, worth watching for heavy users.
Original event 2026-09-17
Anthropic's official developer account announced on September 17 that Projects is rolling out in Claude Code on desktop and web. It is in beta for select users.
Per the announcement, a project is one conversation with Claude: it splits the work into threads itself, runs them as parallel cloud sessions, passes context between them, and keeps going when you leave. Developer Boris Cherny says he has stopped managing sessions and simply sends thoughts as they come.
The change moves task splitting and scheduling from the user to the agent itself. The announcement does not say how widely the beta will open or when it will reach general availability.
