Anthropic merges Claude Cowork and chat into one Claude, adding Docs, Slides, and Design to conversations

Anthropic unified Claude chat, Cowork, and Artifacts into a single auto-routing interface and launched Claude Docs and Slides in beta with PowerPoint and PDF export, rolling out first to Pro and Max plans on web, desktop, and mobile.

Anthropic announced that Claude Cowork and Claude chat are merging into a single 'one Claude' experience, in which one window automatically routes requests, ending customer confusion over which tab to use among Chat, Cowork, and Artifacts. The update introduces Claude Docs and Claude Slides in beta on paid plans, letting users create, edit, share, and collaboratively comment on documents and presentations directly in conversations, with export to PowerPoint or PDF; Claude Design, introduced in April, now works anywhere within Claude. The merged experience rolls out to Pro and Max plans across web, desktop, and mobile over the coming weeks, with Team and Free tiers to follow, and enterprise admins will receive at least 30 days notice before any changes. TechCrunch notes the update follows a recent Cowork memory upgrade for cross-chat context, and The Verge frames the launch as closing ground with Google's Gemini integrations inside Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
