What is Claude Docs and Slides?
On September 16, 2026 Anthropic merged Claude Cowork into the main Claude experience and launched Claude Docs and Claude Slides in beta on paid plans. There is no mode to pick: describe what you need and Claude answers a quick question or takes on longer work such as research, reports, spreadsheets, and presentations, asking before it acts by default. Docs are edited collaboratively in the conversation; Slides can be presented directly or exported to PowerPoint and PDF. Rolling out to Pro and Max first, then Team and Free.
Key features
- Collaborative documents inside the conversation
- Presentations with direct present or PowerPoint and PDF export
- Claude Design works in conversations
- Work persists across chats; asks before acting by default
- Opt-in continuous work with check-ins
Pros
- One Claude instead of a separate Cowork mode
- Exports to the formats offices actually use
- Permission-first defaults
Cons
- Beta, paid plans only at launch
- Free and Team users wait
- Enterprise gets the change on 30 days' notice, so admins should plan
