Anthropic Adds Docs and Slides Tools to Claude, Consolidates Chat Interface
The AI company is rolling out document and presentation creation features for Claude while merging its chat and Cowork modes into a single interface, according to The Verge.
Anthropic is introducing two new tools for its Claude AI assistant, called Docs and Slides, according to a report by The Verge. The features will allow users to create documents and presentations directly through Claude chat conversations.
Once created, the documents and slides can be exported, edited, and shared with other users, The Verge reported. The addition positions Claude as a competitor to Google's Gemini, which offers similar integrated productivity capabilities within Google Workspace applications like Docs and Slides.
Alongside the new tools, Anthropic is also simplifying how Claude functions on the back end. The company is merging its regular chat mode with a feature called Cowork into what it is calling "one Claude," according to the report. Further details on how this consolidation will affect user experience were not fully specified in the available source material.
The move comes as AI companies continue to expand their assistants beyond conversational chat into broader productivity and office-suite functionality, an area where Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have also been investing heavily.
The Verge did not specify a rollout timeline or pricing details for the new Docs and Slides features in Claude.
