- Claude Cowork brings the agentic AI powers of Claude Code to all workers via the Claude Desktop app
- It runs separately from your job on a VM, but both the application and the computer must be active
- All paid plans can access the Search Preview tool today
Anthropic announced its latest addition to Claude Cowork, bringing some of Claude Code’s autonomous agentic AI features to general users, so that instead of chatting, they can use Claude for multi-step tasks.
Cowork now also integrates with third-party and system-level applications, allowing it to perform tasks such as reading, editing, creating and organizing files, creating daily briefings based on previous Slack messages and emails, or performing regular searches such as competitor analyzes or industry news.
To begin scheduled work, a user’s prompt is recorded in Claude, with additional details, including cadence, providing additional instructions for standalone items.
Claude Cowork is an agentic AI collaborator for everyone
Anthropic points out that Claude Cowork runs in a dedicated VM in order to isolate itself from a user’s main operating system and that it requires explicit authorization before taking important actions like deleting files. Users also control which MCP integrations Claude can access.
A separate guide also introduces Claude Cowork as a way to interact with Claude Code-inspired agentic AI from the more familiar user interface, rather than through the terminal.
Recurring tasks can be configured from the “Schedule” tab in the left sidebar or by typing “/schedule” in the task command bar. Managing tasks, such as pausing, deleting, or running programs on demand, can only be done via the left sidebar.
Please note that Claude Cowork requires the Claude Desktop application to be open on an active/awake computer. If these requirements are not met, tasks will be skipped and then rerun once the device wakes up and the app opens.
The Search Preview feature is now available for all paid plans, including Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise.
