Atlantic
Atlantic reads your backlog, support desk and repository, picks one problem, writes the fix, tests it in a browser, has a second model review the diff and opens the pull request.
- From tickets to pull requests
- Evidence on the pull request
Atlantic vs Claude Code
You direct it. Atlantic starts from your tickets.
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool. You run it in a terminal, IDE, desktop app or browser, and you can start it from Slack, GitHub or a schedule you set. Atlantic starts from your tickets and support desk, picks one problem, tests the fix in a real browser and opens a pull request for you to review.
- Browser test on video
- Second-model review
- Auto-merge is off by default
Same repository. A different finish line.
Both work on your repository. The difference is how work starts and what is checked before a person reviews it.
Claude Code
Claude Code reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands and opens pull requests. It runs in the terminal, IDEs, a desktop app and the web, and can start from a mention in GitHub or Slack, a GitHub event or a schedule.
- Terminal, IDE, desktop and web
- Starts from a prompt or a trigger
| Feature | Atlantic | Claude Code |
|---|---|---|
| How work starts | Three finders read your backlog, support desk and repository, each working blind. A judge picks one problem. | A prompt, a mention in GitHub or Slack, or a trigger you set up: a schedule, an API call or a GitHub event (routines, in research preview). You write the instructions for what it picks up. |
| Browser testing | Before the pull request opens, a browser agent drives the change for up to 40 steps on a fresh preview machine, recorded on video. | Can test a web app in a browser. The Chrome extension works from the CLI or your editor in your own browser, and the desktop app checks changes in a Browser pane by default. |
| Review of the change | A second model reviews the diff. Blockers go back for up to 2 fix cycles before the pull request opens. | The /code-review command checks a branch before you push. Code Review (Team and Enterprise plans, research preview) reviews GitHub pull requests with several agents and posts inline comments. It does not approve or block a pull request. |
| Pull requests and merging | Opens pull requests on GitHub only. Atlantic never pushes to your default branch. Auto-merge stays off unless you turn it on for repositories you name. | Creates branches and commits and opens pull requests. The desktop app can merge a pull request once checks pass, if you turn on auto-merge. |
| How you pay | A credit is used only when Atlantic opens a pull request. Failed and cancelled runs are free. | Included in paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) with usage limits, or paid per token through the API. Code Review is billed separately through usage credits. |
