Anthropic merges Claude chat and Cowork in one interface

Anthropic is merging its front-end for Claude chat and Cowork, making it less confusing for people to decide which tab to use for different tasks.

The unified interface lets users access chat, Cowork, and Artifacts (Claude’s interactive workspace feature) within one window. Claude Design, which was introduced in April for website and prototype design, also works anywhere within Claude.

Before this rollout, the company said customers often struggled to choose the right tab for the right task. With the new design, Claude automatically routes requests without having to switch tabs or windows. The idea is to remove confusion about which feature to pick and use just one front-end to route work to different parts of the app.

Hopefully, OpenAI also takes a cue from this rollout and fixes ChatGPT’s interface across the platforms.
