In brief
The AI company is simplifying its product by combining chat, Cowork, and other features into a single unified window. Anthropic is consolidating Claude's features into one interface that automatically routes tasks, eliminating the need to choose between different tabs. Originally reported by TechCrunch.
One interface for everything
Anthropic is combining Claude chat and Cowork into a single window. Users can now access chat, Cowork, and Artifacts without switching tabs.
Solving the tab confusion problem
Customers struggled to choose the right tab for different tasks. Claude now automatically routes requests to the right feature without manual switching.
“Before this rollout, the company said customers often struggled to choose the right tab for the right task.”
New presentation builder included
Users can ask Claude to create, edit, and present slides. Generated presentations can be downloaded as PDF or PowerPoint files.
Collaborative document creation
The new Docs feature lets users work with Claude to create sections, ask questions, and comment. Documents can be shared via link and edited on mobile.
Cross-device workflow support
Users can start creating a document on desktop and check progress on mobile. The features work seamlessly across web, desktop, and mobile apps.
Rolling out to paid tiers first
Features launch on Pro and Max plans over the coming weeks. Free and team tiers will get access later, following an upgrade to Cowork's memory layer.
The headline
