Anthropic Launches Docs and Slides, Unifying the Claude Interface

Key Takeaways

1Anthropic launches in beta Docs and Slides to create and edit documents and presentations from a conversation with Claude

2A unified interface "one Claude" will first be rolled out for Pro and Max users, then for Team and Free

3Documents are private by default, collaborative, commentable, and accessible via a shareable link

Why it matters : Anthropic is bringing its platform closer to Google’s productivity tools by facilitating creation and collaboration directly within Claude.

Anthropic introduces Docs and Slides in beta to produce files directly from a conversation with Claude. At the same time, the publisher is preparing "un Claude," a unified interface that provides access to productivity tools from any chat, with deployment initially planned for Pro and Max offerings.

"un Claude" arrives first for Pro and Max, no action required

The "un Claude" update will first be offered to Pro and Max users on the web, desktop, and mobile in the coming weeks. Team and Free users will gain access later. Anthropic clarifies that there is nothing to activate for this update and that Claude chat remains accessible as before.

Docs and Slides in beta for generating and editing from chat

Docs and Slides, two additional tools, are available in beta alongside Claude Design. Users have the option to ask Claude to produce documents or presentations from any conversation, and then request the AI to modify them or edit them themselves. It is possible to export, modify, and share the generated files.

Simultaneous sharing, comments, and unique link

Documents created with Claude Docs are private by default but can be shared with other editors who can collaborate in real-time. Collaborators, including Claude, can add comments similar to those found in Google Docs. Anthropic states that all content created with Claude Design, Slides, or Docs is accessible via a shareable link, viewable on a phone.

Towards a unified interface and access to tools in every conversation

Anthropic plans to merge classic discussions and Cowork into a single interface called "un Claude," which will provide access to all productivity tools from every conversation. The features of Artifacts and Claude Design will also be integrated into this interface. According to Anthropic, Claude can now identify the needs of a task to make Cowork and Design functions accessible in any discussion, taking into account the context, skills, and connectors already present. Furthermore, earlier this year, Google expanded the role of Gemini in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, notably adding a Gemini chat window in Docs, the generation and editing of entire documents, as well as slide creation.
