Claude Cowork and Chat Merge into One Unified Claude

Anthropic is merging Claude Cowork and Chat into a single Claude starting today, which Mike Krieger says removes the friction of choosing which product to start with.

Per the @claudeai announcement, Claude will carry tasks forward even after the laptop is closed, asking for clarification when needed while users keep final say. The rollout to Pro and Max plans will take place over the coming weeks.
