Cat Wu

Head of Product for Claude Code at Anthropic

Cat Wu is the Head of Product for Claude Code at Anthropic, according to a March 2026 article on claude.com written by Wu. The article, "Product management on the AI exponential," describes how product teams are adapting their workflows and roadmaps as model capabilities change. In it, Wu describes testing each new Claude model, starting with Claude Sonnet 3.5 (new) in October 2024, by asking Claude Code, then an internal tool, to add a table tool to Excalidraw.1

Career

Cat Wu joined Anthropic in August 2024 as a product manager on the Research PM team, which connects research work with customer needs. When Claude Code became available inside the company that autumn, Wu used it to build Streamlit apps for analyzing user feedback, run evaluations and create reinforcement-learning environments, and Wu now leads product for Claude Code.1

Writing

In the March 2026 article "Product management on the AI exponential," Wu describes a Claude Code team in which designers ship code, engineers make product decisions and product managers build prototypes and evaluations. The article credits short self-directed experiments with producing features such as Claude Code on Desktop, the AskUserQuestion tool and to-do lists, and recounts a habit, begun in October 2024, of testing each new model by asking it to add a table tool to Excalidraw.1
