Claude Cowork

What it is

Claude Cowork is a Claude mode for multi-step knowledge work rather than code: research, analysis, documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You set a goal, and Claude plans the work, carries it out in the folders and connected services you choose, and shows every step. It has a built-in browser and can run tasks such as reports, briefings and summaries on a schedule (daily, weekly or monthly). It runs in the desktop app; the web and mobile versions are in beta. It's included in the Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans.
