Cowork and chat merge into one Claude; Docs, Slides and Design
Claude Cowork and chat merged into a single Claude experience, with Claude Docs, Claude Slides and Claude Design available in any conversation.
Users no longer choose a mode. A quick question or a report due at noon goes to the same Claude, which keeps working after the laptop closes. Docs and Slides are new, and Design moves into conversations. Rolling out to Pro and Max, and artifacts including these are on every plan, including Free.
