We're rolling out a new Claude experience that makes everything Claude Cowork does available from any conversation. Ask a quick question or hand Claude a bigger task, like a report, spreadsheet, or presentation, without choosing a mode first. Your chats, Cowork tasks, projects, connectors, and skills carry over. The new experience is rolling out gradually to Pro and Max plans on web, desktop, and mobile. Learn more in Claude Cowork and chat are one Claude.

Your monthly recap is a new feature at Settings > Reflect that shows you the topics you spent time on, your most active day and peak hour, and observations about how you work with Claude. It's in beta on Free, Pro, and Max plans on the web and Claude Desktop, and requires memory to be on. Alongside it, Settings > Time and focus lets you set optional break reminders and quiet hours. For more information, refer to See your monthly recap and Set break reminders and quiet hours.

Claude Cowork is now available on web and mobile in addition to desktop. We are rolling this capability out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow. Cowork runs your sessions remotely (in beta), so your sessions and files are saved to your Claude account and go where you go, on any device. Work continues when you close your laptop, and scheduled tasks run with no device online. Chat and Cowork also share one home now, with one place for your projects and artifacts across both. For more information, see Use Claude Cowork on web, desktop, and mobile.
