Anthropic folds Claude tools into one interface

Anthropic is merging Claude Chat and Cowork into one interface and launching 2 beta tools—Claude Docs and Claude Slides—according to TechCrunch’s report. The rollout starts with Pro and Max users across web, desktop, and mobile, with Team and Free tiers later; Claude can route a task without making users choose a mode. Builders integrating Claude into knowledge work should treat this as a surface-and-permissions change, not a reason to remove approval gates, as Claude Cowork’s agentic-work thesis moves into the default interface.
