Anthropic is rolling out a new version of Claude that moves AI from answering questions to getting work done independently.
The firm says Claude Cowork allows users to hand off a task and let AI complete the work on its own.
Anthropic says users can describe the outcome and cadence, and Claude Cowork will take action and keep them informed. According to the AI startup, users can provide instructions via desktops or phones.
“Tell Claude what you want from your desktop or phone. Claude picks the fastest path: a connector for Slack, Chrome for web research, or your screen to open apps when there’s no direct integration. Claude works through each step, looping you in before anything significant. Watch in real time or walk away. For recurring tasks, tell Claude once, and it handles the rest.”
Anthropic notes that Claude Cowork supports every industry and can perform tasks such as creating a daily briefing, sizing a market, aggregating customer feedback and managing legal documents.
The Claude Cowork is currently in research preview, which means it is being tested and improved with limited features and rollout. Anthropic highlights that agent safety is still in development and urges users to take precautions while using it.
“Avoid granting access to local files with sensitive information, like financial documents. When using the Claude Chrome extension, limit access to trusted sites.
If you choose to extend Claude’s default internet access settings, be careful to only extend internet access to sites you trust.
Monitor Claude for suspicious actions that may indicate prompt injection.
Ensure you’re using trusted MCPs (model context protocol) as always.
Be especially cautious with computer use—Claude is interacting with your actual desktop and apps outside the virtual machine.”
