Summary
Anthropic has combined Claude chat and its agentic work mode, Claude Cowork, into a single Claude app. Users no longer pick a tab; Claude itself decides whether a request needs a quick answer or a longer task. Claude Docs and Claude Slides, which let people draft and edit documents and slide decks inside a conversation, arrive in beta, rolling out first to Pro and Max plans. Note: the Anthropic page body did not render, so only the title and URL were verified directly, and details were cross-checked against TechCrunch coverage from the same day.
Why it matters for our work
Removing the choice of which tool to use lowers the barrier to delegating work to AI. With document and presentation creation flowing through one conversation, teams burdened by routine paperwork could see faster turnaround.
