Cowork
📰 Article[email protected] (Michael Nuñez)
Anthropic's AI agent for non-coders works in your files without writing code.
Cowork is a new AI agent capability from Anthropic, available exclusively to Claude Max subscribers (priced between $100 and $200 per month) via the macOS desktop app. It extends Claude Code's capabilities to non-coders by providing a folder-based sandbox where Claude can read, edit, and create files. Users assign tasks that Claude breaks down into steps, executes, and asks for clarification if needed. The feature was built in approximately a week and a half, largely using Claude Code itself, highlighting a recursive AI improvement loop. Cowork integrates with Anthropic's connectors (Asana, Notion, etc.) and the Claude in Chrome browser extension for broader functionality.
