Anthropic merges Claude chat and Cowork interfaces
Anthropic is combining Claude chat and Cowork into one interface, reducing its product to Claude Chat and Claude Code modes, according to Techmeme, ZDNet, CNET and 9to5Mac. The revised main window can also create documents, presentations and design schemas. The rollout is beginning with subscribers on the Pro and Max plans.
Why it matters
A unified interface could make Anthropic's agentic tools easier to discover and use while bringing document creation directly into its core product.
