Key Details

Before this rollout, the company said customers often struggled to choose the right tab for the right task.

With the new design, Claude automatically routes requests without having to switch tabs or windows.

The idea is to remove confusion about which feature to pick and use just one front end to route work to different parts of the app.

Hopefully, OpenAI also takes a cue from this rollout and fixes ChatGPT’s interface across the platforms.

Anthropic is also adding dedicated features for making presentations and documents.
