Claude is combining Cowork and chat into a single integrated workspace so conversations can spin up full projects without forcing users to choose separate apps. New built-in tools - Claude Docs, Claude Slides, and Claude Design - let users ask Claude to draft reports or presentations, edit directly, present or download as PowerPoint/PDF, and keep visual design capabilities available inside any conversation. Outputs and related files live at a single shareable link and carry the conversation’s context, connectors, and skills, so documents and slides match automatically. Users can have Claude run tasks automatically on a schedule, check progress from mobile, and control whether Claude asks before taking actions or works autonomously and notifies only as needed.
The change is intended to remove friction from moving work between places: existing Cowork projects, chats, artifacts, connectors, and skills remain accessible and intact. Claude Design continues to work standalone for those who use it separately. The rollout begins on Pro and Max plans across web, desktop, and mobile, with Team and Free plans following and Enterprise admins receiving at least 30 days’ notice before changes. Beta features are on paid plans and Enterprise admins can choose when to enable them.
