Anthropic to Fold Claude AI Features Into One Interface, Launches Document Tools

Anthropic says Claude will automatically route tasks and add Docs, Slides and Design for paid users in beta.

  • On Wednesday, Anthropic announced it is combining Chat and Cowork features of its Claude AI assistant into a single interface, launching new beta tools Claude Docs and Claude Slides.
  • Anthropic consolidated these features after finding "users were frustrated by the separation" and often unsure which tool to select, aiming to simplify navigation through automatic request routing.
  • Users can now create Docs and Slides directly from the prompt bar using dedicated output widgets, with options to export to Microsoft Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, or PDF.
  • These capabilities are rolling out first to Pro and Max subscription plans across web, desktop, and mobile over the coming weeks, with Anthropic extending access to Free and Team tiers later.
  • By integrating these services, Anthropic positions itself as an "AI-first Google Suite rival," reflecting a broader industry shift toward unified, AI-powered work environments that reduce application switching.
