Anthropic announced that Claude Cowork and chat are merging into a single Claude: you can ask a quick question or hand over a full report, and Claude takes it from there — even continuing after you close your laptop, asking clarifying questions while you keep final say. Rolling out to Pro and Max subscribers over the coming weeks, marking a shift toward a unified long-running agent entry point.
