Anthropic's equivalent product has the incredibly clumsy name Claude Code on the web, which I shorten to "Claude Code for web" but even then bugs me because I mostly interact with it via Anthropic's native mobile app.

I was hoping to see Claude Code for web rebrand to Claude Code Cloud - I did not expect OpenAI to rebrand in the opposite direction!
