Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude
Anthropic is merging Claude Cowork and Claude chat into a single general-purpose agent experience, rolling out first to Pro and Max plans.
Simon Willison reports that Claude Cowork and Claude chat are merging into one Claude interface starting today, letting users hand off quick questions or longer tasks that continue running even after the laptop is closed.
