Anthropic unifies Claude and adds Docs and Slides

Anthropic is merging Claude Chat and Cowork into a single Claude experience, removing the need to choose a separate mode for larger delegated tasks. The rollout starts with Pro and Max users across web, desktop and mobile, with other plans following. Claude Docs and Claude Slides add editable document and presentation creation inside conversations, while Claude Design is also available in the unified experience. The tools expand Claude from conversational assistance toward an integrated productivity workspace. Source: TechCrunch and independent launch coverage, September 16–17, 2026.
