Anthropic is merging Claude Cowork and standard chat into a single Claude experience, eliminating the need to choose between quick conversations and larger delegated tasks. The unified experience is rolling out to Pro and Max subscribers over the coming weeks, with Team and Free plans to follow. Additionally, Anthropic introduced Claude Docs and Claude Slides, both in beta on paid plans, while Claude Design is moving into conversations.
