Overview
- Anthropic has begun rolling out a unified Claude front end that brings chat, Cowork and Artifacts into a single window so users no longer switch between separate tabs.
- The interface detects user intent and routes tasks to the appropriate internal module automatically, which reduces confusion about which feature to use.
- New built-in Slides and Docs let Claude create, edit and present presentations and documents with export to PDF and PowerPoint, comment and link-sharing features, and cross-device mobile editing.
- The rollout will be phased to paid Claude Pro and Max users on web, desktop and mobile first, with Anthropic planning to expand the features to free and team editions later.
- Anthropic had upgraded Cowork’s memory layer before this release to keep context across multi-turn tasks, a change that supports the smoother, collaborative workflows now exposed in the unified UI and echoes a wider industry move to integrate large models into workplace apps.
