Cowork extends Claude's agentic capabilities beyond developers to everyone. Give Claude access to your files, describe what you need, and let it work autonomously.
Official introduction video from Anthropic
Cowork is a research preview feature by Anthropic in Claude Desktop that allows anyone to give Claude access to folders on their computer. Claude can read, edit, or create files autonomously while completing work tasks. It transforms Claude from a conversational assistant into a capable workflow automation partner.
"It feels much less like a back-and-forth and much more like leaving messages for a coworker."
Unlike traditional chat interfaces, Claude completes work with much more agency. You can start a task, step away, and come back to finished work. Complex tasks can even spin up independent sub-agents that work simultaneously.
Click 'Cowork' in Claude Desktop and select a folder you want Claude to access. Only explicitly granted folders can be accessed.
Use natural language to tell Claude what you need. Claude will develop a strategy and show you its planned approach.
Claude executes the plan step-by-step, keeping you informed throughout. You can steer, correct, or step away and return later.
Reorganize downloads, sort files by type or project, rename in bulk, and maintain folder structure automatically.
Generate spreadsheets from screenshots, draft reports from scattered notes, create presentations from outlines.
Claude makes plans and executes multi-step tasks with minimal intervention. Complex tasks spawn parallel sub-agents.
Pairs with Claude in Chrome extension for tasks requiring internet access, combining local file work with web research.
Queue multiple tasks for simultaneous execution. Start several jobs and let Claude work through them efficiently.
Claude only accesses folders you explicitly grant, asks before significant actions, and includes prompt injection defenses.
Just describe what you want in natural language
Claude Cowork is currently available as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on macOS from Anthropic.
Claude Cowork enables Claude to read, write, and organize files on your computer, run shell commands, process data, generate reports, and automate repetitive tasks. It works entirely on your local machine.
Open Claude Desktop, go to Settings > Features, and enable the 'Computer Use' option. You may need to restart the application for changes to take effect.
Yes. Cowork runs locally on your computer and always asks for your permission before executing any file operations or commands. No data is sent to external servers without your explicit consent.
Cowork can work with virtually any file type including text files, documents, spreadsheets, images, PDFs, code files, and more. The specific capabilities depend on the task at hand.
Cowork primarily works with local files and commands. While it cannot browse the web directly, it can process downloaded files and work with local data.
Unlike ChatGPT, Cowork can directly interact with your computer's file system and execute real commands. This makes it capable of performing actual tasks rather than just providing instructions.
Cowork is currently available through Claude Desktop on macOS only. Windows and Linux support are not yet available.
Cowork always shows you a preview of commands before execution and requires your approval. It's designed with safety in mind and will warn you about potentially destructive operations.
