Anthropic merges Claude Chat, Cowork, and more into a single product

Anthropic is consolidating its Claude Chat and Cowork interfaces into a single product that autonomously determines whether a task requires a direct response or a more complex workflow. This update also introduces Claude Docs and Claude Slides, which allow users to generate documents and presentations directly within the platform. These features are initially available to subscribers on Pro and Max plans. By unifying these tools, Anthropic is shifting toward a model where the AI manages its own processes rather than requiring manual user intervention.
