Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude

Anthropic merged Claude Cowork and chat into a single Claude. Claude now works out what a task needs, so Cowork and Design work from any conversation. The rollout starts on Pro and Max plans, with Claude Design now working inside conversations.

Why it mattered It ends the split between chat and Cowork, making agentic task work available from any conversation. Docs, Slides, and in-conversation Design make Claude a fuller workspace.

Cowork and chat merge into one Claude that routes each task and carries work across conversations. The rollout starts on Pro and Max plans over the coming weeks. Claude Docs and Claude Slides launch today, and Claude Design works inside conversations, all in beta on paid plans. Everything from Cowork stays where it is: chats, projects, artifacts, connectors, and skills.
