Anthropic merged Claude Cowork and chat into one Claude. Users can now hand off tasks and let Claude work without switching. Docs, Slides and Design now work inside conversations. All three are in beta on paid plans. Enterprise admins control when to enable them. Existing Cowork projects and artifacts remain accessible. The rollout starts today on Pro and Max plans. Team and Free plans will follow later. Enterprise users get at least 30 days notice before changes. Users keep final approval over Claude’s actions.
