Key point
The unified experience allows teams to start with quick questions and escalate to cloud-based agentic tasks on web, desktop, and mobile without switching tools.
Details
- Unified Claude Chat and Cowork is now generally available for Claude Enterprise plans, merging previously separate experiences into a single interface across web, desktop, and mobile.
- Conversations begin as chat and automatically escalate to agentic work in Anthropic-managed cloud environments when tasks require code execution or file manipulation, allowing work to continue after users close their laptops.
- New Efficient mode and model entitlements help admins manage costs, with Claude Opus 5.5 costing 40% less than Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 up to 30% less than Claude Sonnet 5 on typical workloads.
- Security controls include isolated virtual machines for agentic sessions with network egress off by default, SSO, and Compliance API integration, while existing connectors, skills, and plugins carry over seamlessly.
- Organizations using zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configurations, or customer-managed encryption keys remain on their current setup during the rollout.
