Claude Chat and Cowork Merge into One Workspace for Enterprise Users

At a glance

Claude's regular chat and Cowork, its task mode, are now combined and officially available to Enterprise plan users. Both simple questions and long projects can be handled in the same chat window. The feature first came to Pro and Max plans in September.

Key points

1. 1

   Users no longer need to choose between chat and Cowork before starting.

2. 2

   Complex tasks keep running in the cloud managed by Anthropic, so work continues even after you close your laptop.

3. 3

   Admins can set access by role, and can manage usage with a new Efficient mode.

4. 4

   Existing security settings, such as SSO and the Compliance API, can still be used as before.

Why it matters

It reduces the confusion companies face when choosing which AI tool to use, and it also covers work security and cost management.
