"Anthropic has launched Claude Cowor, a general-purpose AI agent that can manipulate, read, and analyze files on a user's computer, as well as create new files. The tool is currently available as a "research preview" only to Max subscribers on $100 or $200 per month plans. The tool, which the company describes as "Claude Code for the rest of your work," leverages the abilities of Anthropic's popular Claude Code software development assistant but is designed for non-technical users as opposed to programmers."
"Some of the use cases Anthropic showcased for Claude Cowork include reorganizing downloads, turning receipt screenshots into expense spreadsheets, and producing first drafts from notes across a user's desktop. Anthropic has described the tool, which can work autonomously, as "less like a back-and-forth and more like leaving messages for a coworker." Anthropic reportedly built Cowork in approximately a week and a half, largely using Claude Code itself, according to the head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny."
Anthropic launched Claude Cowork, a general-purpose AI agent that can read, manipulate, analyze, and create files on a user's computer. The tool operates as a research preview, accessible only to Max subscribers on $100 or $200 monthly plans. Claude Cowork adapts capabilities from Claude Code but targets non-technical users with an interface that does not require coding. Demonstrated use cases include reorganizing downloads, converting receipt screenshots into expense spreadsheets, and drafting documents from scattered desktop notes. The agent can work autonomously and is described as functioning more like leaving messages for a coworker than a back-and-forth chat. Anthropic built Cowork rapidly, using Claude Code.
