# Claude Chat and Cowork merge into one Claude \(Pro/Max first\)

Anthropic



Anthropic blog + Help: Claude Cowork and chat merge into one conversation—no mode picker. Former Cowork capabilities work from any chat. Claude Docs/Slides \(and Design in-conversation\) launch in beta on paid plans. Rolling out to Pro/Max on web/desktop/mobile, then Team/Free; Enterprise gets at least 30 days notice. Existing Cowork work carries over; once migrated you cannot switch back. Usage still counts toward plan limits.
