Anthropic is expanding Claude beyond a traditional AI chatbot by bringing document and presentation creation into the same interface as its existing AI tools. The company has announced Claude Docs and Claude Slides, and will now let you create documents, presentations and visual designs within a single conversation. The move also brings Claude Design into the main interface, while users can export their work to formats supported by Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs and PDF.
