Anthropic bets Claude Cowork turns Claude into an on-device coworker

Anthropic unveiled Claude Cowork, a research-preview feature that lets Claude access a folder on your Mac to read, edit, or create files for non‑coding tasks, and to link with external tools (e.g., Asana, Notion) or Claude in Chrome. Available now to Claude Max subscribers ($100–$200/month) via the macOS app, with a waitlist for others. It builds on Claude Skills to expand AI agent capabilities while flagging safety risks like potentially destructive actions and prompt-injection concerns.
