Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work

4 months ago

Claude Cowork is a new feature allowing users to work with Claude by giving it access to a folder on their computer.
Cowork enables Claude to read, edit, and create files, automating tasks like organizing downloads or drafting reports.
It offers more agency than regular conversations, allowing Claude to plan and execute tasks independently while keeping users informed.
Cowork integrates with existing connectors and skills, enhancing Claude's ability to create documents, presentations, and more.
Users can queue tasks and provide feedback in parallel, making interactions feel like leaving messages for a coworker.
Security features include controlled folder access and prompts for significant actions, though risks like prompt injections exist.
Cowork is currently available as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on macOS, with plans for future improvements and expansion.
