Claude Cowork
Agentic AI workspace for multi-step tasks, local files, and document creation
Claude Cowork brings Claude Code's agentic architecture to general knowledge work without requiring a terminal. It executes multi-step tasks independently in the cloud, reads and writes local desktop files, controls browsers, and creates polished outputs like spreadsheets and presentations. It lets you assign complex jobs, step away, and return to completed work across desktop, web, and mobile.

- Turn meeting recordings and calendar events into summaries, action items, and slide decks
- Research topics across the web using automated built-in browser actions
- Edit local drafts and documents in place without manual file uploads
- Schedule automated recurring reporting tasks that execute in the cloud
