Anthropic is merging Claude Cowork and the standard chat interface into a single unified Claude experience. This consolidation aims to simplify the product landscape by combining task-oriented workflows with general conversation.

The feature is initially rolling out to Pro and Max plan users across the web, desktop, and mobile apps over the coming weeks.

This move signals Anthropic's shift toward positioning Claude as a general agent capable of handling long-running tasks even after the user has closed their device.
