Summary
Anthropic has rebuilt the Claude desktop app from the ground up, and one engineer who worked on Claude Code described the change as effectively a Claude 2.0. This Futurepedia video walks through everything that is new and how to get the most from it.
The Co-work tab has been merged into chat, leaving two tabs: Home and Code. New artifact formats include documents, slides, design, dashboards that can pull live data from connectors, and motion graphics generated through code. Dashboard and Motion are still in beta, and the standalone design platform is being retired in favor of artifacts.
On the Claude Code side, the video covers the session rail, which shows where a session runs, remote control from a phone, and a breakdown of how much of the 1 million token context window is in use. It also demonstrates side chats, forked chats, and split view for working on several sessions at once, plus a setting to keep a computer awake while Claude works. Cloud sessions that keep running with a laptop closed are explained as well. The presenter also mentions mods for customizing the interface and a free setup kit linked in the description.
