Overview

Learn about Cowork, Anthropic's agentic workspace

Cowork uses the same agentic architecture that powers Claude Code, accessible within Claude Desktop without opening the terminal. Rather than responding to prompts sequentially, Claude tackles intricate, multi-step tasks autonomously. Describe a desired outcome, then return later to completed work — polished documents, organized files, synthesized research, and more.

Key capabilities

  • Works directly on your computer — Claude reads and writes local files without requiring manual uploads or downloads.
  • Claude in Chrome — Pair Claude in Chrome with Cowork to automate your tasks on any website.
  • Sub-agent coordination — Complex work gets divided into smaller tasks with parallel workstreams for faster results.
  • Professional outputs — Creates polished deliverables including Excel spreadsheets with functional formulas, PowerPoint presentations, and formatted documents.

Extend Cowork with integrations

Cowork supports the same extensibility features available across Claude products:

Connect Claude to your tools and data sources using MCP. Teach Claude reusable workflows with custom instructions. Bundle skills, connectors, and more into shareable packages. Track usage and activity across your organization.
