Starting today, Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Bring a quick question, or hand over a report due at noon, and Claude takes it from there, even after you’ve closed your laptop. It’s rolling out on Pro and Max plans over the next few weeks, with more plans to follow.

Claude Docs and Claude Slides are new today, and Claude Design now works inside your conversations too. Ask for a document, and you and Claude write it together. Ask for a presentation, and Claude drafts the slides. You can edit directly, present straight from Claude, or download as PowerPoint or PDF. All three are in beta on paid plans, and Enterprise admins choose when to turn them on.

We built Cowork as a separate place for bigger work, and Design for visual work. People used both, and told us the frustrating part was deciding where a task belonged. So we stopped making you choose. Claude can now figure out what a task needs, so what Cowork and Design can do is available from any conversation.

“I could have Claude pull up [my legal research database], and it would pull all the cases, read them, figure out which other cases I might need, download them, and store them in a folder for my personal review.” - Andrew Keller, Senior Economist
