Anthropic merges chat and Cowork into new unified Claude platform
Anthropic is merging its chat and Cowork features into a unified Claude platform. The update provides paid users with access to presentations and document management in a single location.
What happened?
Anthropic has begun rolling out a cohesive platform for its AI service Claude, merging the previously separate chat and Cowork functions. The update means that users with Pro and Max subscriptions will have access to all features in one place, including the document management tool Claude Docs. Simultaneously, Claude Design is being introduced, allowing for the creation of presentations that can be viewed directly within the service or exported to PowerPoint and PDF formats.
