## Claude gets Docs and Slides
You can now create documents and presentations through Claude chats. Export, edit, and share them with other users.
## One unified Claude interface
Anthropic is merging regular chats and Cowork into a single interface. All AI productivity tools are now available from any chat.

> can now figure out what a task needs, so what Cowork and Design can do is available from any conversation
## Real-time collaboration built in
Claude Docs work like Google Docs with private documents you can share. Multiple editors can work simultaneously and leave comments.

> Anything you make with Claude Design, Slides, or Docs lives at one shareable link you can open on your phone.
## Closing the gap with Google
Google already integrated Gemini into Docs, Sheets, and Slides earlier this year. Claude's new tools give users fewer reasons to leave for other platforms.
## Rolling out to Pro users first
The update hits Pro and Max users on web, desktop, and mobile over the next few weeks. Team and Free users get access later.
## Key takeaway

Claude now offers document and presentation creation tools that compete directly with Google's Gemini-powered productivity suite.
