"So last week, Anthropic launched Claude Cowork, which the company calls " Claude Code for the rest of your work." Available now as a research preview on Anthropic's $100-per-month Max plan, Cowork is the best example of what " vibe coding"-an AI-powered approach where people use natural language prompts to bring their software ideas to life-can do. Designed for non-developers, it's a desktop app that aims to help regular workers with all kinds of tasks, like organizing files or crunching data."
"Case in point: Anthropic's new working agent was largely built by Claude itself, in just a week and a half. The memes write themselves. "Claude, here is a picture of my bank account. claude, make that number go up to $1 billion. make no mistakes," one X user prompted. "Claude here is my life. all of it. down to the last detail. make me happy. beautiful. successful. make no mistakes," another posted."
"While Claude might not be able to satisfy those demands (yet), AI is undoubtedly turning the workforce on its head. Research shows that 85% of employees globally are saving one to seven hours a week with AI. Yet, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that we could be "sleepwalking into a white-collar bloodbath," with AI wiping out huge swathes of entry-level jobs in just one update."
Anthropic released Claude Cowork, a desktop application that enables non-developers to use natural-language "vibe coding" prompts to perform tasks like organizing files and crunching data. The product is available as a research preview on Anthropic's $100-per-month Max plan. Claude Cowork was largely built by Claude itself in about a week and a half. Online users circulated memes and exaggerated prompts imagining Claude managing finances or entire lives. Research indicates 85% of employees globally save one to seven hours per week using AI. Anthropic's CEO warned that rapid AI advances could eliminate many entry-level white-collar jobs in a single update.
