Claude Cowork: Anthropic's coding AI goes user-friendly for everyday computing

Anthropic is unveiling Claude Cowork, a preview that lets non-developers use Claude to manage files in a folder, rename and organize downloads, convert receipts to spreadsheets, and even browse websites via a Chrome plugin and the Connectors framework. Tasks can be queued and run in parallel with minimal context required, but Claude can take destructive actions only with explicit access. For now, Cowork is limited to Claude Max subscribers on Mac (via the Claude macOS app) with a waitlist for others.
