Anthropic Brings Claude Cowork and Chat Into One Claude Workspace

Anthropic has put Claude Cowork and regular Claude Chat behind one shared Claude starting point, so users can begin either a conversation or an agentic task from the same message box. The change is a product integration rather than a new model launch: Chat remains the turn-by-turn assistant, while Cowork is the paid-plan agent mode that can work across selected files, apps and connectors.
