Anthropic merges its chat and agentic products into one AI assistant in push to build a superapp

Anthropic is merging its agentic tool—Claude Cowork—and its chatbot—Claude Chat—into a single product. The change, which takes effect Wednesday, is also happening alongside the introduction of two new beta products, Claude Docs and Claude Slides, alongside a wider rollout of Anthropic’s Claude Design tool, which will now be available inside every conversation rather than as a standalone product.
