"Anthropic has introduced Cowork, a new feature that uses Claude for more than just chat conversations and programming. Cowork is based on the same fundamentals as Claude Code, but focuses on general knowledge work and a broader audience. The feature is available as a beta version for Claude Max subscribers via the macOS desktop app. Claude Code quickly became popular among developers and hobbyists."
"With Cowork, users can give Claude access to a specific folder on their computer and give commands in plain language. The AI can read, edit, and create files and independently perform larger tasks, such as filling out expense reports based on receipts, writing reports from separate notes, and cleaning up folders or desktops. The difference with regular chat lies in the autonomy."
"In Cowork, Claude works agentically: after receiving a command, it draws up a plan itself and executes it step by step, while users can add instructions or corrections in the meantime. This approach is similar to Claude Code, but is now focused on non-technical tasks. Anthropic positions Cowork as a tool for all knowledge workers, from developers to marketers. Some of these capabilities already existed through Claude Code or integrations with the Model Context Protocol, for example, to create files directly in other tools."
Anthropic released Cowork as a Claude-powered feature for general knowledge work, available in beta to Claude Max subscribers on macOS. Cowork lets users grant Claude access to a specific folder and issue plain-language commands so the AI can read, edit, and create files. Claude can independently perform larger tasks like filling expense reports, compiling reports from notes, and cleaning up folders. The system plans and executes steps agentically while allowing user corrections, supports parallel task execution, and can expand via connectors, skills, and web-enabled Claude integrations for broader workflows.
