Anthropic has launched a unified interface that merges its Claude chat and Cowork features, aiming to reduce user confusion and streamline workflows. Previously, users often struggled to determine the correct tab for specific tasks. The new design integrates chat, Cowork, and Artifacts (Claude's interactive workspace) into a single window, with Claude automatically routing requests to the appropriate feature.
This update also introduces dedicated functionalities for document and presentation creation. Users can instruct Claude to generate, modify, and present slides, with the option to download them as PDF or PowerPoint files. The Docs feature allows for collaborative document creation, enabling users to add sections, ask questions, and comment on content. Documents and presentations can be shared via a link and edited across devices, including mobile.
The new features are being rolled out progressively, starting with Claude's Pro and Max subscription plans on web, desktop, and mobile platforms. Anthropic intends to make these capabilities available to free and team users at a later date. This integration follows an upgrade to Cowork's memory layer, enhancing Claude's ability to retain user context across conversations.
