- Anthropic launched Claude Docs, which adds collaborative document editing to Claude and merges its chat with Cowork tools; the features reach Pro and Max subscribers first over the coming weeks.
- The tool lets Claude draft sections, ask questions, comment on editorial choices and revise documents while colleagues work in the same file, with exports to Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
- Claude Slides and Claude Design ship in beta inside conversations, letting users build and edit presentations and export decks as PowerPoint or PDF.
- The launch follows OpenAI's merger of Codex and ChatGPT into a single app, and earlier Anthropic plug-in releases such as Claude Design preceded a prolonged selloff in software shares.
