Sept 16 (Reuters) - Anthropic said ⁠on Wednesday it is combining the chat andCowork ⁠features of its Claude AI assistant into a ‌single interface and launching new document and presentation tools.

The company will also integrate its visual work tool, Claude Design, into the main ​interface, with the changes coming after ⁠users said they were ⁠frustrated by having to choose the right tool for each ⁠task, ‌it said.

Anthropic'smove follows OpenAI's July launch of ChatGPT Work, which combined its chatbot with its ⁠Codex coding tool, highlighting the two IPO-bound giants' ​race for ‌enterprise customers and non-coders seeking to use AI-powered work ⁠tools.

Users will ​no longer need to switch between different tools, and Claude will automatically determine and deploy the capabilities required for ⁠a task, Anthropic said.

The company is ​also introducing Claude Docs and Claude Slides in beta, allowing users to create documents, presentations and visual designs in a ⁠single conversation.

The AI tool will also allow users to create and export documents to Google Docs or Microsoft Word, and presentations to PowerPoint or PDF files.

The update ​is rolling out first to Pro ⁠and Max subscription plans on web, desktop and mobile over ​the coming weeks, and later to ‌Team and Free plans, Anthropic ​said.

9 月 16 日（路透社）——Anthropic 周三表示，该公司正在将其 Claude AI 助手的聊天和 Cowork 功能合并到一个单一界面中，并推出新的文档和演示工具。

该公司还表示，将把其可视化工作工具 Claude Design 集成到主界面中，做出这些改变是因为用户反映，他们不得不为每个任务选择合适的工具，这让他们感到沮丧。

Anthropic 的举动紧随 OpenAI 于 7 月推出的 ChatGPT Work 之后，后者将其聊天机器人与其 Codex 编码工具相结合，凸显了这两家即将上市的巨头公司在争夺企业客户和非程序员用户（希望使用 AI 驱动的工作工具）方面的竞争。

Anthropic公司表示，用户不再需要在不同的工具之间切换，Claude会自动确定并部署完成任务所需的功能。

该公司还推出了测试版的 Claude Docs 和 Claude Slides，允许用户在一次对话中创建文档、演示文稿和视觉设计。

该人工智能工具还将允许用户创建文档并将其导出到 Google Docs 或 Microsoft Word，以及将演示文稿导出到 PowerPoint 或 PDF 文件。

Anthropic 表示，此次更新将在未来几周内首先面向网页、桌面和移动设备上的 Pro 和 Max 订阅计划推出，之后再面向 Team 和 Free 计划推出。
