What is Claude Cowork?
Claude Cowork is the agent mode in Anthropic's Claude desktop app that takes on multi-step tasks using the files and apps you give it access to. It is meant for knowledge workers who want to hand off work such as organizing documents or drafting reports instead of chatting step by step.
Cowork runs inside the Claude app for macOS and Windows. You point it at a folder or connected tools, describe the outcome, and it plans the steps, reads and edits files, and reports back when it is done. Paid plans can also schedule tasks to run later.
The desktop app pairs with the Claude mobile app, so you can send a task from your phone and have Cowork start on it at your computer. Claude extensions for Chrome, Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Slack extend what it can reach.
