Anthropic is merging Claude Cowork and Chat into a single Claude starting today, which Mike Krieger says removes the friction of choosing which product to start with.
Per the @claudeai announcement, Claude will carry tasks forward even after the laptop is closed, asking for clarification when needed while users keep final say. The rollout to Pro and Max plans will take place over the coming weeks.
Claude Cowork and Chat are now one Claude, starting today.
The most common thing we hear: people aren't sure which product to start with. That friction gets in the way of getting the best from what these models can do.
I've been on the unified version for a few weeks and really enjoy it. Claude does the deciding about how to get there, while I get to keep my thinking on the work itself.
Let us know what you think! We'll be getting it dialed in over the coming weeks.
Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude. Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks—you keep the final say. Rolling out to Pro and Max over the next few weeks.
